OpportunityTitle: AmeriCorps State and National Grants FY 2016
Description: AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations proposing to engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions 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 from the National Service Trust that members can use to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans.Grant awards have two components: operating funds and AmeriCorps member positions. Grant award amounts vary &#8211; both in the level of operating funds and in the type and amount of AmeriCorps member positions.Unless otherwise specified, the grant generally covers a three-year project period. In approving a multi-year project period, CNCS generally makes an initial award for the first year of operation. In most cases, the application is submitted with a one-year budget. Continuation funding is not guaranteed.Contact: americorpsgrants@cns.gov202-606-7508
