BEFORE GETTING STARTED

The following eGrants screen shots and instructions will walk you through entering your volunteer 

station roster for each grant. Below are a few tips to remember when entering your volunteer 

stations.

1. All of the fields in the volunteer station information screen are required. Each field in

the Station Roster section must be completed in order to submit the changes.

2. To make changes after the submission, please contact your Portfolio Manager.

3. Entering your volunteer stations is a one-time request. You will only need to update

your volunteer station if there is a change in the volunteer station (i.e. address

change, volunteer station becomes inactive, etc.). You will not need to submit an

amendment every time you want to update your volunteer station roster.

4. You will not be able to print the volunteer station roster. You can contact your 

Portfolio Manager for a printable version of the volunteer station roster.

Instructions for Entering Your Volunteer Station Rosters

Once you have logged into eGrants with your username and password, you will be taken to the 

home screen. 

Step (1) Click on the

awarded in the 

competitive process, you 

will select amendment.

Step (2) A list of all grants that can be amended are listed. Select the current grant 

number and program. A list of all the applications associated with that grant number 

and program will appear. Click on the “amend” link. 

Step (3) An initial screen will appear with amendment types. Click on the Modify 

Station Roster checkbox to enter your station roster for this amendment. You will also 

need to type in a reason for the amendment (i.e. “I am entering my volunteer station 

roster for this grant.”). Click “next” once you have completed this section. 

*Note: Ensure that you selected

the correct Project name, grant

entering in eGrants.

On the left, you will notice different sections for entering specific data. 

If you selected the amendment type “Modify Station Roster, eGrants 

will take you to the station roster section. 

*Note: You may have to

temporarily enable pop-ups

in order to move forward.

Step (4): Review the 

instructions for entering 

your volunteer station 

information. 

Click on the “add a new” 

link to enter your volunteer 

station information.

Fields with a red asterisk (*) are required for completion of each volunteer station.

Step (5) Enter data for each field. For help, click on the help text ( ) to understand the

description of what should be entered into that specific field. For example, the street 

address line should be entered as the actual physical address location where 

AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers will serve. Do not enter post office boxes. 

For the Focus Areas and Objectives, you will have to select one Focus Area and 

Objective at a time. For example, I have selected Veterans and Military Families – 

Veterans & Families Served. I will need to ‘save & close’ the pop-up screen in order to 

add another Focus Area and Objective for this station roster.

Active MOU: check 

this box to indicate 

that there is a

current signed MOU

with this station.

Active: once a

volunteer station is

created it cannot be 

deleted. If an 

organization was

entered in error or is 

no longer an active 

AmeriCorps Seniors

station, uncheck 

this box. 

Step (6) Click ‘save 

& close’ once you 

have completed all 

applicable fields for 

this volunteer 

station.

To enter more than 

one Focus Area and 

Objective for a 

volunteer station, you 

will have to enter them 

separately. Click on 

the “view/edit” link to 

add additional Focus 

Areas and Objectives.

You will be able to 

select another Focus 

Area and Objective for 

this volunteer station. 

NOTE: Please ensure that you enter all of the Focus Areas and Objectives for that 

particular volunteer station. 

Step (7) The recent entry(ies) will be included on the Volunteer Stations screen. Repeat 

step 5 and 6 until all volunteer stations have been completely entered for this grant. 

Step (8) Click on the ‘next’ link 

once all volunteer stations have 

been added.
