Welcome!

The Volunteers for Prosperity Service Incentive Program (VFPServ) is a public-private partnership of the Office of Volunteers for Prosperity (VFP Office) at the US Agency for International Development (USAID), in cooperation with the USA Freedom Corps of the White House, and the GlobalGiving Foundation (GlobalGiving) that was developed to improve the affordability of short-term international volunteering for skilled American professionals.

How it Works

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 of short-term international volunteer assignments. Grants match at least an equal amount of funds raised by volunteers locally. Volunteer assignments are supervised by leading US non-profits and companies affiliated with the VFP Office.

Get Involved

VFPServ offers you several ways to get involved. Donations to the VFPServ General Fund provide the matching monies that will be awarded to partner organizations. Have you thought about serving those in need around the world with your time and talent? If so, consider applying for a volunteer assignment through the VFP Office's network of affiliate organizations. Would you like to help someone you know qualify for a matching grant from the VFPServ General Fund? Then consider a direct donation in support of volunteerism.
