In-Kind Hours

Have you volunteered on behalf of the LCCA? Have you sent emails, read reports, talked about the coalition, or drove to events? Please fill out our in-kind log!


A requirement of the federal Drug Free Communities grant is getting in-kind match. This can look like donated money, meeting space, free advertising, volunteer hours and mileage, etc. Your time participating in various parts of the LCCA count towards this in-kind match. This fiscal year we are required to match 125% of each dollar we spend federally. Each year we receive $125,000 from the federal government, this means we need to get $156,250 in in-kind match!


Per the federal government, a single volunteer hour is valued at $34.79, and mileage is $0.67/mile! Your time and miles are so valuable!

We could not do this work without our amazing volunteers!

Please fill out this form to log your monthly volunteer hours.


If you have any hours or miles from last year or this current yeat that you would like to log, please email Sarah McGeorge at sarahm@livingstoncc.org.
