The Massachusetts Service Alliance is a private organization that expands volunteerism in Massachusetts by supporting both individuals and organizations. As the state commission on volunteerism and service, they create public-private partnerships throughout the state and provide organizations with the funding, training, and support necessary to advance volunteerism across Massachusetts. MSA also sponsers a service internship program (Commonwealth Corps) and offers individual volunteers healthcare/childcare subsidies, living allowances, student loan deferment, and more in return for their service (AmeriCorps). 

MSA volunteers work for the organization directly, rather than any of their partners.

Volunteer activities have included:

• Grantwriting/review
