The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation announced that its third annual VeteranWINS ® grant program will donate $300,000 across nine U.S. nonprofits to address sustainable housing for military veterans.

Awarded through a competitive application process, VeteranWINS grants support community-based nonprofits focused on addressing veteran homelessness, transitional housing, and low- to moderate-income veteran home rehabilitation.

“Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live, especially our veterans, who have already sacrificed so much for our country,” said Jeff Chavannes, VeteranWINS program manager and an Army veteran. Since 2012, Wells Fargo has donated over $100 million to support military members, veterans and their families through various initiatives.
