Grant Information

VOLUNTEER FLORIDA'S MISSION is to strengthen communities in Florida through volunteerism and service. We know, however, that without funding, our mission will never succeed. That's why one of our primary goals is to offer funding opportunities to assist communities in Florida. Annually in the fall we announce our largest funding opportunity, federal AmeriCorps programs, but throughout the year we have multiple opportunities to provide funding for community programs. This page provides you with the latest information in available grants, along with information to assist you in applying.
