Federal Grant Award Summary

The Massachusetts Service Alliance, Inc., received $807,998 in federal funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps State Commissions Support Grant program (CFDA 94.003). This three-year Project Grant, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, supports the establishment and operation of Massachusetts' independent, bipartisan state commission responsible for coordinating national service initiatives. The grant funds commission administrative operations, strategic planning activities, development of the state service plan, technical assistance to organizations applying for AmeriCorps funding, and programmatic oversight of federally funded AmeriCorps programs within the state. The award requires a 50 percent non-federal match contribution.

As the primary state-level intermediary between the federal government and local service organizations, the Massachusetts Service Alliance administers this support grant while managing a broader portfolio of AmeriCorps programs through multiple sub-awards to partner organizations. Through these coordinated efforts, the organization facilitates the recruitment, training, and deployment of AmeriCorps members to address community needs across education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, public health, and disaster services throughout Massachusetts. Grant recipients must maintain comprehensive financial and programmatic records for three years following final report submission and remain subject to audit by federal auditing authorities.
