OUTREACH GRANT

If your local AVP chapter is looking to expand or restart from the pandemic, then the CLARG Outreach grants could be just what you’re looking for. AVP-USA will be matching funds, up to $1000 per group, to support newly-created Local Outreach Coordinator positions. Â
Outreach Coordinators might do any of the following:
- recruit participants for workshops
- edit/create website material
- update social media sites

MANUALS GRANT
Financial support to purchase new manuals
The new updated Basic manuals are here! Grants up to $500 for local groups are available. You may use the grant for Basic, Advanced, T4F (English or Spanish) and Youth manuals.
This could be awarded to your local group in addition to the Program Support Grant, especially for new groups trying to get established. It could also be awarded to existing local groups who are finding it difficult to fund manuals for their programs. CLARG has seen that some groups need to go beyond the current parameters of the Program Support Grant for manuals and this would allow AVP-USA to make a larger impact with their grant funding.
