Volunteer Liability Policy and Certificate

Individual members of the IHEA who are United States residents/citizens are provided with Volunteer Liability Insurance up to $1,000,000 per occurrence. This policy provides protection for a bodily injury or a property damage liability claim arising out of the performance of the registered volunteers' duties. Click the link above for details.

In-Kind Match Documentation

To receive Federal funding, States must provide at least 25 percent of the project costs from a non-Federal source.  The non-Federal share can be derived from license fees paid by hunters or by the value of third party in-kind contributions.  Many States use the value of donated volunteer instructor hours to provide the match for their hunter education grant, which greatly benefits the state.
