1 ANNOUNCEMENT OF FEDERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITY Commission Name: OneStar National Service Commission, OneStar Foundation Federal Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service CFDA Number: Funding Opportunity Types: Volunteer Generation Fund FY 2013 Notices of Intent to Apply Due (optional): Application Deadline: Friday, January 17, 2014 by 11:59:59 PM CST Thursday, January 30, 2014 by 11:59:59 PM CST OVERVIEW The mission of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic participation through service and volunteering. CNCS through its AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs, Volunteer Generation Fund and Social Innovation Fund has helped to engage millions of citizens in meeting community and national challenges through service and volunteer action. CNCS seeks to direct the power of national service to solve a common set of challenges, expand opportunities for all Americans to serve, build the enduring capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to effectively use service and volunteering to solve community problems, and embrace innovative solutions that work. OneStar National Service Commission (OneStar) serves as the Governor-designated National Service Commission in Texas and also administers the AmeriCorps*State grant program. The Governor-appointed Board members oversee the legal and policy governance of the AmeriCorps*Texas program portfolio. OneStar s mission is to build a stronger nonprofit sector for a better Texas. OneStar connects faith-based and community organizations, businesses, government and foundations to resources and information about the nonprofit sector. We promote innovative strategies and public-private partnerships to drive community solutions. OneStar is a statewide convener of nonprofit networks, developing a coordinated approach to building the strongest most impactful nonprofit sector. Learn more about OneStar at: The Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF), a program authorized by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act of 2009, is designed to increase the number of people who serve in meaningful roles as volunteers dedicated to addressing important needs in communities across America. OneStar has received a FY 2013 Volunteer Generation Fund grant from CNCS to launch the Texas Disaster Volunteer Generation Initiative, which will strengthen the State of Texas infrastructure and ability to harness the potential of unaffiliated, spontaneous and other community volunteers generated in times of disaster through increasing the capacity of volunteer connector organizations and their partners. This initiative will benefit from OneStar s partnerships with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (TX VOAD), the Texas Association of Volunteer Centers (TAVC), and the University of Texas at Austin s RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service (UT RGK). FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION A. Purpose of Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) Grants Volunteers provide significant social and economic benefit to our communities and the nation. In 2012, 64.5 million adults volunteered through formal organizations. Whether tutoring at-risk students or providing job training to veterans or responding to natural disasters, volunteers have a powerful impact on critical challenges facing our nation. Volunteering also provides important benefits to those who serve helping them develop and maintain skills, expand professional networks, stay connected to their community, and experience physical and mental health benefits. Researchers have found that when citizens volunteer, they have higher lifetime rates of civic engagement, educational attainment, social capital, and life skills (Frumkin & Jastrzab, 2010; Simon & Wang, 2002; Tschirhart et. al, 2001). Volunteering can play an important part in putting unemployed Americans back to work, especially those that have been unemployed for a long period of time. As Hilda L. Solis, Secretary for the Department of Labor (DoL) has said Volunteerism can be a way to help unemployed workers expand their network of contacts, improve their Page 1 of 6
2 resumes and make a positive impression in a competitive job market. Finally, a report issued last year by the National Conference on Citizenship (NCOC) reported that states and localities with higher indices of civic engagement and volunteering were also able to recover from the recession quicker than communities with lower levels of civic engagement (NCOC, 2012). Volunteer Generation Fund grants, serve to retain and increase the number of people who volunteer in meaningful roles. The Volunteer Generation Fund grants will be used to develop and/or support community-based entities to recruit, manage, and support volunteers. CNCS seeks to fund effective approaches that expand volunteering, strengthen the capacity of volunteer connector organizations to recruit and retain skill-based volunteers, and develop strategies to effectively use volunteers to solve problems. Specifically, the VGF grants will support efforts that expand the capacity of volunteer connector organizations to recruit, manage, support and retain individuals to serve in high quality volunteer assignments. In order to measure performance, programs funded through the Volunteer Generation Fund will establish outputs to measure the number of both new and retained volunteers managed and supported by grant funds awards and the types and amounts of activities carried out by volunteers. In 2012, Texans contributed 571 million hours of volunteer service to their communities (Volunteering in America, 2012). Despite this, Texas ranks 42 of 50 states in overall volunteer rates, with only 24.7% of residents reporting that they formally volunteer. As OneStar identified in a 2011 multi-phase study ( Analysis of the Texas Nonprofit Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Resources ), this is likely the result of a lack of volunteer coordination and nonprofit infrastructure across the state. The study, conducted by Angela Bies, Ph.D., of Texas A&M University s Bush School of Government & Public Service, identified a resounding need for formal networks and alliances to increase coordination and communication across the sector and expanding nonprofit infrastructure provision in underserved areas. Texans, as a whole, lack access to meaningful, coordinated volunteer opportunities and volunteer connector organizations. At the same time, over the past decade, Texas has experienced a significant number of high-profile natural and manmade disasters. These disasters, ranging from floods to wildfires, hurricanes to drought, and the recent West fertilizer plant explosion, have led to both economic devastation in under-resourced regions of the state as well as a growing number of concerned citizens who wish to help but lack coordination, training, and supervision. Since 2005, when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall on the American Gulf Coast and left the region devastated within the course of a single month under the lens of national media exposure, the American public has become keenly and increasingly aware of the vital role volunteers can play in times of disaster. The, administered by OneStar Foundation, will strengthen the State of Texas infrastructure and ability to harness the potential of unaffiliated, spontaneous and other community volunteers generated in times of disaster through increasing the capacity of volunteer connector organizations and their partners. The project, which will focus on the CNCS Focus Area of Disaster Services, will benefit from OneStar s strategic, cross-sector partnerships with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (TX VOAD), the Texas Association of Volunteer Centers (TAVC), and the University of Texas at Austin s RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service (UT RGK). By the end of the one year project period, OneStar and its subgrantees and partners will recruit 2,000 disaster volunteers who will have contributed at least 1,000 hours of service in total to Texas communities. B. Funding Priorities In this competitive grant opportunity, OneStar expects to fund applicants that successfully meet the requirements described in this Notice. Within that context, OneStar will target its grantmaking towards applicants that: Demonstrate a track record of successfully recruiting, managing and mobilizing large groups of volunteers. Describe how they will identify and implement evidence-based strategies and best practices related to volunteer recruitment and management in times of disaster. Build strategic partnerships with local government and emergency management officials to prepare in advance for volunteer mobilization in times of disaster. Develop high-quality disaster volunteer programs and volunteer assignments that will help Texas generate and retain an unprecedented number of volunteers available in times of disaster. Page 2 of 6
