The Micro-grant Program invites any community member, public school, or 501(c)(3) organization, within Maricopa County, with a volunteer project idea to apply for a micro-grant to receive assistance with their project.
Get the tools you need to complete your volunteer project. We have collaborated with the Phoenix Community ToolBank to offer almost any tool for any volunteer job. (See a list of tools here.) From community clean ups to school beautifications and community murals we can help you get the tools you need to get the job done.
If your need extends beyond tools, Tier 2 offers additional materials. In addition to providing the tools needed to complete the project, examples of materials in this Tier may include paint, roller pads, drop cloths, trash bags, hardware, tape, and more.
In addition to Tier 1 or 2, Tier 3 offers a opportunity to apply for a potential financial grant up to $200 in total project costs to local 501(c)(3) organizations or public schools.
If you have a group that is ready to lead a community project to improve Maricopa County, download the Micro-grant Program Guidelines and Application, review the program guidelines and requirements, and then submit the completed application to volunteer@vsuw.org.
