Project Grant 25SRFRI003

This federal Project Grant award from the Corporation for National and Community Service's AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), CFDA 94.002, provides $139,781.00 to fund the 2025-26 RSVP program for the Southern Rhode Island Volunteers organization. The award period runs from May 29, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The grant supports the organization's efforts to recruit, train, and deploy senior volunteers aged 55 and older to address critical community needs in areas such as education, healthcare, economic opportunity, disaster services, environmental stewardship, and non-profit capacity building. The award requires a 10% statutory match, though the organization has budgeted a 32.55% matching contribution. The funding will enable Southern Rhode Island Volunteers to engage senior volunteers in meaningful service activities and create measurable community impact.
