Los fondos para estas subvenciones se generan principalmente a través de los juegos de la Comisión de Lotería de Texas designados para el apoyo de los veteranos. Otras fuentes de financiación para las subvenciones provienen de opciones de donación individual para licencias de conducir, licencias para portar armas, licencias de recreación al aire libre para caza y pesca, y registros de vehículos.
