The U.S. Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) awarded a $837,844 Project Grant to the Iowa Commission On Volunteer Service (Volunteer Iowa) to fund their AmeriCorps State Commissions Support Grant (CFDA 94.003) activities in FY 2025. This grant provides support for Volunteer Iowa to develop a state service plan, assist with the AmeriCorps application process, and provide oversight of AmeriCorps programs within Iowa. Through this funding, Volunteer Iowa will administer diverse AmeriCorps programs that deploy volunteers and members to address critical community needs across areas such as education, healthcare, economic opportunity, disaster services, environmental stewardship, and nonprofit capacity building. Key initiatives include the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and AmeriCorps State and National programs that support sub-grantees like Iowa Legal Aid, Habitat for Humanity of Iowa, the Iowa Economic Development Authority, and various universities. The grant requires a 50% non-federal match, which Volunteer Iowa has budgeted at 64.79%.
