This grant, the Volunteer Generation Fund, is designed to significantly increase the number of individuals serving as volunteers in meaningful roles across American communities. It aims to bolster the capacity of volunteer connector organizations to effectively recruit, manage, support, and retain high-quality volunteers. The initiative seeks to establish robust volunteer support structures in states and identify effective strategies for expanding volunteer opportunities and management. This fund will also support efforts aligned with significant service days, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the 9-11 Day of Service and Remembrance, ultimately strengthening the national volunteer ecosystem and addressing crucial community needs.
