Each year, MNRPCV (Minnesota Returned Peace Corps Volunteers) solicits grant applications from currently serving Peace Corps Volunteers and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, for funding to support their international community projects. The selected projects are funded in mid-summer. The grant-cycle takes place once a year.

MNRPCV 2025 Grant Applications are now open (see grant requirements). Applications are due on June 15, 2025. Send your completed application to [email protected]. The MNRPCV Board will review all applications and notify applicants of the results by August 1, 2025.

MNRPCV Grant Awards are funded by the annual membership dues paid by our registered members, individual donations, and grassroots fundraising efforts such as the annual calendar sale, and other local events. We appreciate all who contribute to the support of these vital community projects around the globe!
