AmeriCorps State Competitive Grant Opportunities

Serve Washington is pleased to announce the 2025 AmeriCorps State Competitive Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) to meet state and local challenges through service and volunteer action. There are two opportunities for funding: AmeriCorps Continuation Grants and AmeriCorps New/Recompete Operational Grants. Organizations should pay particular attention to which opportunity to apply for. You may only apply to one opportunity.

New/Recompete AmeriCorps Operational Grantsare for organizations ready to implement an AmeriCorps program and are not already funded by Serve Washington OR are for organizations that have completed a three-year operational grant and are looking to renew another three-year operational grant.

AmeriCorps Continuation Grants are currently funded operational grants entering year two or year three of a three-year cycle.
