Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 AmeriCorps State and National Competitive Grants

AmeriCorps is soliciting applications from eligible state, local, tribal, and nonprofit entities to receive competitive grants for FY 2027. The grants fund AmeriCorps members who will deliver evidence‑based or evidence‑informed community service programs in areas such as economic opportunity, veterans & military families, education, health, housing, and disaster relief. Recipients must be able to recruit, train, and manage AmeriCorps members, provide a living allowance, and ensure members earn the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon completion. The competition is open nationally, with a submission deadline of 13 January 2027, and award amounts are not capped. • Open to state governments, territories, counties, cities, special districts, public‑controlled higher education institutions, nonprofit 501(c)(3) and non‑501(c)(3) organizations, and tribal entities. • Grants are discretionary, with no set award floor or ceiling; funding varies by project scope. • Applicants must demonstrate capacity to implement community‑service projects aligned with listed funding activity categories (e.g., Community Development, Education, Health, Housing). • Funding is provided as a grant (not a contract) and includes a living allowance for AmeriCorps members plus related benefits. • The competition is annual; successful applicants receive funding for the FY 2027 period (typically a 12‑month project cycle).
