Creates a federal grant program to help communities build and maintain memorials for veterans, police, and firefighters.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help local governments and nonprofit groups pay for memorials. These grants would support building, fixing, or keeping up statues and other features that honor veterans, law enforcement officers, and firefighters.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program from the Department of the Interior to help fund memorials for veterans, law enforcement officers, or firefighters. If this bill becomes law, the Department of the Interior would create a grant program setting aside $2 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 to 2030. This would allow local governments and nonprofits to apply for grants up to $100,000 for memorial projects, provided they can match at least 50% of the cost.
