MSA has a funding opportunity available for organizations seeking to host their own AmeriCorps State program! Applicants may apply for an AmeriCorps Formula Grant to host their own program in 2022-2023.
AmeriCorps Formula Grant
What is an AmeriCorps grant? AmeriCorps is a federal agency overseen by the AmeriCorps Agency. AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations to recruit, train, and manage AmeriCorps members who address unmet community needs in education, the environment, public safety, disaster preparedness, and other critical areas. Members may receive a living allowance during their term of service. Upon successful completion of their service, they also receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust.
Program Size
Applicants should understand that AmeriCorps programs are expected to engage a minimum of 10 full-time members (10 Member Service Years, or MSYs) or the equivalent number of part-time members. Program applications requesting fewer than 10 MSYs will not be reviewed. AmeriCorps programs should be large enough to make a significant difference in communities; therefore, MSA strongly encourages applicants to request a minimum of 15-20 MSYs regardless of whether members serve individually or in teams.
