The International Association for Volunteer Effort is actively seeking donors to our COVID-19 Response Fund. Your donations will be targeted to volunteer leadership organizations working directly to respond to the pandemic among the most vulnerable populations – including youth, older adults, people with disabilities and other communities vulnerable to physical health, mental health and economic impact of the pandemic.
Currently, the fund is providing operational grants for volunteer leadership organizations with an impact-oriented project focused on COVID-19 support. An example might include support for health and safety training of volunteers, or the creation of a volunteer identification scheme.

Grants are small, one-time only, cash awards of under $500 given to a volunteering organization for an impact-oriented project focused on COVID-19 support. An example might include support for health and safety training of volunteers, or the creation of a volunteer identification scheme.
To limit the burden on nonprofits, there is no formal application at this time. Instead we are asking interested organizations to fill out a short form providing basic information about your organization and work to address the basic needs of vulnerable populations impacted by the pandemic.
We encourage you to complete our online form if you are a volunteering organization that is authentically connected and providing coronavirus related to volunteering for the most vulnerable populations including seniors, children, etc.
