Self-Assessment Worksheet
Use this self-assessment tool to see if your organization meets the criteria to be eligible for VOCA funding, and if your organization has the systems in place needed to manage a VOCA grant if you receive one. At the end of the chart, you’ll find a worksheet to help you create an action plan for any changes needed to be VOCA eligible and VOCA ready.
