What is the approval process for a grant/loan?
Once the application has been completed it is reviewed by the Maryland Trust Fund Review Committee, which consists of the Deputy Secretary, MDVA Directors, and representatives from the Maryland Veterans Commission and the Maryland Veterans Home Commission. Recommendations are made to the Secretary or designee, who makes the final decision on application approval.
Decisions are contingent upon the veteran's present situation and are made as soon as possible depending on the urgency of the situation.

I am a veteran and would like to start a business; can I apply for the trust fund?
No, the trust fund was established to help veterans and their families who are experiencing financial struggles and for organizations serving veterans and their families. However, The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED), in consultation with the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA), is currently accepting applications for no-interest loans via the Military Personnel and Service-Disabled Veterans No-Interest Loan Program.
