Memorial Day 2023: GrantWatch Recognizes Veterans, Active Military, and Veteran-Serving Organizations

Memorial Day is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May. This year, Memorial Day takes place on May 29th, 2023. It is a day to remember America’s fallen heroes and honor the memory of those who have died fighting for our freedom.

GrantWatch has many grants for veterans. Listed below are 10 of these grants. To commemorate Memorial Day, GrantWatch is offering a 5% rebate this week to all veterans, active military personnel and veterans’ service organizations. This rebate is for a $199 annual subscription to the GrantWatch website purchased between May 23 and May 29, 2023, as a token of gratitude for their service. To claim this deal, you must send an email to support@grantwatch.com by May 29th after purchasing your subscription.

Fallen soldiers have been honored in some form since Civil War times. However, Memorial Day only became an official federal holiday through an act of Congress in 1971. One of the best ways to help veterans is by funding organizations that help provide supplemental services. Grants can do this by providing emergency funding for veterans, as well as funding for organizations.
