Opportunity Information: Apply for AC 09 14 21
The FY2022 AmeriCorps State and National Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AC 09 14 21) is a discretionary grant program offered by AmeriCorps to support organizations that want to deploy AmeriCorps members in structured national service positions to address community needs. The core purpose is to strengthen communities by funding programs that engage people in direct service and volunteering efforts tied to some of the country s most persistent challenges. These grants are intended to help make service a lasting part of civic life by placing members with organizations doing community improvement work and by supporting interventions that have a solid foundation in evidence or informed practice.
A key feature of this opportunity is the emphasis on program quality and effectiveness. Applicants are expected to propose evidence based or evidence informed interventions or practices, meaning the service activities should be grounded in approaches that show results or are strongly supported by credible research and practical experience. AmeriCorps members serve in approved national service positions and may receive a living allowance and other benefits during their term of service. After successfully completing service, members earn the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, which can be applied toward higher education costs or used to pay down qualified student loans, making the program both a community support mechanism and a pathway for member advancement.
The grants align with a wide range of public interest activity areas, reflecting the broad scope of AmeriCorps supported service. The funding activity categories listed include community development, disaster prevention and relief, education, employment labor and training, environment, food and nutrition, health, housing, and natural resources. This means proposed programs can target many different local or regional priorities as long as they are structured around member service and are designed to produce measurable community benefit.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit institutions. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public and state controlled institutions of higher education, as well as private institutions of higher education. Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized are eligible, along with other tribal organizations. Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities can apply. Both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in each case, other than institutions of higher education) are also listed as eligible applicants. The associated CFDA number for this program is 94.006.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on September 14 2021, with an original closing date of January 5 2022. The funding instrument type is a grant. The notice does not provide an award ceiling or expected number of awards in the source data provided, so those specifics would typically be confirmed in the full notice or application instructions. Overall, this opportunity is designed for organizations that can effectively manage a national service program, place and support members in meaningful roles, and deliver community focused outcomes using approaches that are backed by evidence or strong informed practice.Apply for AC 09 14 21
