FY 2023 AmeriCorps State and National Grants

Background
AmeriCorps improves lives, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. AmeriCorps brings people together to tackle some of the country’s most pressing challenges through national service and volunteerism.

Grant Details
AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations proposing to engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions/practices to strengthen communities. An AmeriCorps member is an individual who engages in community service through an approved national service position. Members may receive a living allowance and other benefits while serving. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that they can use to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include Indian Tribes, institutions of higher education, local governments, nonprofit organizations, state service commissions, states, and US Territories. Applicants must have a valid SAM registration and Unique Entity Identifier to receive an award.

Period of Performance
AmeriCorps anticipates making three-year grant awards. Continuation awards for subsequent years are not guaranteed; they depend upon availability of appropriations and satisfactory performance.

Grant Value
The actual level of funding is subject to the availability of annual appropriations. Award amounts will vary as determined by the scope of the projects.
