Apply for an AmeriCorps state competitive grant by Feb. 25

Serve Washington has released the Federal Fiscal Year 2026 AmeriCorps State Competitive Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) to meet state and local challenges through service and volunteer action.

Applications must be submitted by February 25, 2026, 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Please note: there are two opportunities for funding. Organizations should pay particular attention to which opportunity to apply for – you may only apply to one.

New/Re-compete AmeriCorps operational grants: These grants are 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: These grants are for currently funded operational grants entering year two or year three of a three-year cycle.
