Federal Grant Award Summary

The Corporation for National and Community Service, through its Office of Grants Management, awarded $821,932.00 to the Executive Office of State of Arizona under the AmeriCorps State Commissions Support Grant (CFDA 94.003) on July 1, 2025. This three-year Project Grant supports the development and oversight of Arizona's state-level AmeriCorps commission, which is responsible for developing a comprehensive state service plan, assisting potential AmeriCorps program applicants, and providing programmatic oversight of federally funded national service initiatives within the state. The award enables Arizona to establish and maintain a 15-to-25 member independent, bipartisan commission appointed by the Governor to coordinate AmeriCorps programs addressing critical community needs across focus areas including education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, healthy futures, and disaster services.

The funding supports the commission's core administrative and programmatic functions through June 30, 2028, with a required non-federal match of 50% of the total project budget. The Executive Office of State of Arizona will work with sub-recipients, including Arizona State University and various state departments, to implement these national service coordination activities. Grant recipients must maintain all financial and program records for three years following submission of the final Federal Financial Report and are subject to audit by AmeriCorps employees, the Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, and contracted auditors.
