Your Role as a PLV
As a Project Lead Volunteer (PLV), you act on behalf of Devxchange in an official volunteer capacity.
Your job is to support Devxchange’s oversight, communication, reporting, and fundraising for an assigned grantee.
What You Can and Cannot Do #
✔ PLVs Can: #
- Answer general donor questions and direct them to proper links
- Represent Devxchange when communicating with the grantee
- Gather updates, reports, photos, and financial info
- Help Devxchange verify activities and monitor progress
- Support Devxchange fundraising for the project’s annual budget
- Draft grant materials for Devxchange to review

Important:
PLVs do not have authority to:

- release or commit funds
- make promises to donors or grantees

- bind Devxchange legally
Devxchange staff and board make all decisions.
PLVs support — they do not decide.
