All chapters have access to a free premium VolunteerMatch account into FY22 funded by SCORE HQ.

With VolunteerMatch having 1.3 million monthly visitors, it is one of the best ways to recruit qualified volunteers. And when you post an opportunity on volunteermatch.org, it is also automatically posted onto idealist.org as well.

The one-click reposting tool will not only keep your opportunities active but also bump them up in the search results. Make sure you are logging in and reposting frequently!

If your chapter has had success with this platform or a specific opportunity, we would love to hear about your success! You can submit it through the Marketing Best Practices Form.

Any images used on chapter websites must be photography captured by the chapter with permission from those pictured or stock images from our Getty Images subscription. Never use images obtained from Google image search or other websites as this could result in a copyright claim.

SBA will begin sending invitations for supplemental awards for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program.

SVOG supplemental awards are to be provided to those who received an initial grant and have illustrated a 70% loss when comparing 2021’s first-quarter revenues to the same in 2019.

Supplemental award applicants can choose to apply for any amount up to 50% of their original SVOG amount, with a $10 million cap of the initial and supplemental awards combined, according to the law. The supplemental awards also allow SVOG recipients to extend the time to use their grant funds for expenses accrued through June 30, 2022 and lengthen their budget period to 18 months from the initial grant’s disbursement date.
