|\/| Small Grants Training for Staff

*Note - course updated Feb 2025 as a result of impacts from Executive Orders initiated in the new Administration.

The Small Grants Program enables posts to better support the Peace Corps’ approach to development and to more thoroughly monitor, evaluate, and report on funded projects. At Peace Corps, there are 4 Small Grants programs: PCPP, SPA, VAST, and the Global Agreement with USAID. We hope that this training package will help you understand how to manage Small Grants at post, and how to leverage these different resources effectively. If at any point you have questions about the content in this course, please contact smallgrants@peacecorps.gov.
