By making funds available to cover at least a portion of the major costs involved with service assignments abroad for American professionals, VFPServ will help to ensure greater numbers of volunteers, thereby extending the reach of Volunteers for Prosperity (VFP), an initiative established by President Bush on September 25, 2003 to encourage skilled Americans to serve others in need around the world and support the nation’s global health and health prosperity agenda.
VFPServ provides grants to partner organizations to assist skilled Americans who wish to volunteer abroad. VFPServ grants (ranging from $500 to $1000) are individual, non-renewable and are designated to offset travel, insurance and local living costs
Total Funding Received to Date: $198,900
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $201,100
Total Funding Goal: $400,000
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
More American professionals will have the ability to go overseas to volunteer.
GlobalGiving is happy to be working with Volunteers for Prosperity to enable American volunteers to go abroad more easily.
