Funds for Groups Helping Vets Get JobsJuly 9, 2004
Funding Opportunity
Organizations that help homeless veterans by establishing small businesses can apply for enterprise loans of up to $30,000 from Eli Lilly and Company.
Community-based groups can apply for the Job Assistance for Veterans' Advancement (JAVA) loans to start vending businesses like coffee carts and silk screening that employ veterans.
Four loans will be made during the first year of the program; groups are asked to pay the loans back so the program can be self-perpetuating.
For more information or to apply, contact Linda Boone at the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans: 800-VET-HELP.
