Under the 2009 Serve America Act, the Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) was established to provide funding through State Service Commissions to strengthen local volunteer programs and expand volunteerism.
Serve Wisconsin’s Volunteer Generation Fund provides support to volunteer programs in every region of the state. The Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) focuses on investments in volunteer management practices that improve volunteer recruitment, retention, and training.
