Additional Q&A
Q.1 In the VGF Grant Application
on page 7, section C. Project Summary/Description, is this ONLY referring to
the required Service Project?
Answer 1: NO. It is
referring to the Whole Grant Proposal. To clarify, it asks you to “give a
brief overview of your project (the WHOLE Grant Proposal) - include proposed activities, how it
will build/improve your volunteer infrastructure, and how it will impact your
service to the community.”
