The CAPCA Grants program is dedicated to funding projects for currently serving Peace Corps volunteers. Priority will be given to volunteers from the Chicagoland area as that is the region in which our members live. Projects should demonstrate a large community contribution, sustainability and a timeline that allows completion before the volunteer's Close of Service. The volunteer should also be willing to provide progress reports and follow up on the advancement and completion of the project. Finally, any information or presentation that the volunteer can provide on the project to CAPCA and its members will be greatly appreciated and the volunteer may be requested to speak about their project at CAPCA events upon return to the Chicago area.

It is strongly recommended that the volunteer go through the Peace Corps Partnership Program to get initial approval.

CAPCA will also fund local projects if they help fulfill the Third Goal of the Peace Corps - Bringing the world back home.

Interested volunteers should contact Theresa Fernandez at grants@capca.org.
