Serve Washington is pleased to announce the 2024 AmeriCorps State Formula Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) to meet state and local challenges through service and volunteer action. There are three opportunities for funding: AmeriCorps Planning Grants, 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.
AmeriCorps Planning Grants provide initial funding to support current staff or to hire additional staff who can plan a proposed AmeriCorps program and develop systems for successful implementation of an AmeriCorps operational grant application. This is a great place to start if you are new to AmeriCorps! (Planning grants DO NOT receive/provide AmeriCorps members.)
AmeriCorps Continuation Grants are currently funded operational grants entering year two or year three of a three-year cycle. New applicants should apply for a planning grant or new operational grant NOT a continuation grant.
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. If you are new to AmeriCorps in general, you may want to consider a planning grant opportunity which will be available spring of 2024.
To request these documents in alternate format, please send us an email or call 360-902-0656.
