CHIP IN for Veterans Act of 2025

This bill keeps and expands a VA program that lets the Department of Veterans Affairs accept donated buildings, clinics, and improvement projects from states, cities, nonprofits, and private groups to better serve veterans. It removes the limit on how many donations the VA can take, and it broadens what can be donated to include minor construction and one-time maintenance work, not just full facilities .

The program continues beyond 2026. One summary says it becomes permanent starting December 16, 2026, while the Senate-referred text shows the authority extended through December 16, 2031 .

• Who is affected: Veterans; VA hospitals and clinics; state and local governments; nonprofits and private donors.
• What changes: VA can accept more donated facilities and projects; the cap on donations is removed; donations can include minor construction and nonrecurring maintenance .
• When: After December 16, 2026; the Senate version extends the authority through December 16, 2031 .
