Funding Available to support September 11 Day of Service & Remembrance and Day to Serve Projects

Deadline to Apply: July 1, 2014

The Governor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism (GOSV) is seeking grant applications from Maryland nonprofit organizations and state agencies to mobilize community volunteers for projects held on September 11 Day of Service and Remembrance and/or Maryland’s Day to Serve initiative (September 11 – September 28).

These funds are designed to increase the number of volunteers serving in existing projects or to develop new projects that will engage new volunteers in service to Maryland communities.

Service projects must align with Day to Serve 2014’s focus areas of hunger eradication and/or environmental stewardship. The approval and award of these grants is contingent upon the GOSV’s receipt of federal funds from CNCS.

Application Instructions for the 2014 Volunteer Generation Fund September 11 Day of Service & Remembrance and Day to Serve Grant are located at GOSV.maryland.gov

Please help spread the word about this grant opportunity and remember to tag @MarylandGOSV on Twitter and Facebook and use #DaytoServe.
