As we celebrate the anniversary of the creation of the today, we also wanted to remind everyone about a current opportunity to support volunteer efforts through our funding from the AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund.

Organizations can apply for up to $10,000 in mini-grant funding to strengthen their volunteer programs. These grant funds can be used to support volunteer recruitment, volunteer engagement, volunteer training, Days of Service, or disaster preparedness trainings.

While all organizations are encouraged to apply, Serve Wisconsin especially encourages applications from projects celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and agencies working with older adult volunteers.

Grant decisions will be made as part of a competitive process to select recipients based on their innovative approaches, size and scope of the proposed project, and the organization’s demonstrated readiness to implement the proposed project.
