Opportunity Information: Apply for CNCS111612
The AmeriCorps State and National Grant Competitions provide funding to organizations that utilize AmeriCorps members for community service through evidence-based interventions. The overarching goal is to improve community resilience and support economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, health, and the well-being of veterans and military families across the United States.
AmeriCorps members receive a living allowance and can earn an education award after completing their service. The funding prioritizes focus areas such as disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and programs supporting veterans and military families. Additionally, CNCS seeks to engage underrepresented communities, providing a pathway for education and employment.
Organizations applying for funding should demonstrate how their programs will yield positive outcomes in the specified focus areas. The funding is divided into tiers, with Tier 1 being the highest priority for programs that align with specific performance measures, such as those dealing with economic opportunity or education improvement in schools receiving federal support.
The Governor and Mayor Initiative allows state governors and mayors to collaboratively apply for grants, focusing on state-specific challenges and how partnerships with nonprofits can address these issues using AmeriCorps members.
Overall, this grant opportunity aims to leverage national service to address critical community needs while fostering a collaborative approach among state, local, and nonprofit entities.Apply for CNCS111612
