Grants

    Grants Program

    Each year, SORVO raises money in order to support projects from current or former Peace  Corps communities. 

    Our funding priorities are to

    • donate money in a way that will have the largest benefit to host country communities
    • continue the connection of SORVO RPCVs to their host countries

    History 

    • 2018 - $1000 dollars donated

    Selection Criteria

    • Projects are selected at our annual business meeting in January
    • Members in attendance vote on the number of projects and the specific amount of funding
