Get Money for Volunteering!.

If you’re looking to volunteer for your next vacation or on your round the world trip you’ve probably realized that it can be quite costly depending on the company you go with and your location. I’ve done a lot of research to find less costly companies and listed some of them under our travel volunteer information page however this is the first time I have seen an actual grant.

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. It sounds like a pretty good deal to me! If you want to learn more please visit Global Giving and read all about it. Good Luck!
