EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept the annual FY24-25 Retired and Senior Volunteer Program grant award from
AmeriCorps Seniors in the amount of $77,500 with the required match obligation of $47,754 and authorize
the necessary Budget Amendments. (Human Services Grant Fund 1835 and Human Services Match Fund
1836)
OBJECTIVE: To provide uninterrupted operation of Collier County’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) has been co-sponsored by Collier
County since 1990. RSVP is a national volunteer program sponsored by AmeriCorps Seniors designed to provide
individuals aged fifty-five (55) years and older with the opportunity to share their abilities, interests, and
experiences with their communities. Each year, more than 500,000 volunteers use their experience, skills, and
talents through RSVP Projects in the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
On November 14, 2023, Agenda Item #16.D.4 The Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the after-
the-fact electronic submittal of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 AmeriCorps RSVP grant application in the amount of
$125,254. On January 31, 2024, the Collier County Community and Human Services Division (CHS) received
notice of award from AmeriCorps RSVP. AmeriCorps anticipates making three (3) one-year grant awards and
generally makes an initial award for the first-year period of performance, based on a one-year budget.
The period of performance for Year 1 would be 4/1/2024 - 3/30/2025 with a total cost of $125,254. AmeriCorps
Seniors provides 61.87% of the financial support to maintain staff and volunteer support of the program. The RSVP
Grant has a minimum local match requirement of 30% of the total budget. Historically, Collier County has met the
match requirement via a combination of a cash match and in-kind resources. CHS has provided the cash match and
project management, while Collier County Parks and Recreation has donated the use of activity rooms for the
RSVP volunteer-run Bone Builders Program classes to assist the RSVP Program in meeting its in-kind
contributions. Community businesses further support the program through donations for volunteer recognition
events. RSVP of Collier County has one hundred and thirty-three (133) volunteers presently who served 6,369
volunteer hours in 2023, providing a donated value of $202,534.20 of service for residents of Collier County.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the award amount, required local match, and In-Kind Budget
