Funding Resources

VMP provides resources and occasional workshops on how to secure funding for your mentoring program. VMP does not currently operate a grant award process to mentoring programs. However, we do keep the mentoring community up-to-date on pending legislation, federal, and state grants for mentoring initiatives.

For more information on mentoring legislation, please visit http://www.mentoring.org/take_action/
