Federal Grant Award Summary

The Government of Guam – Department of Administration, Bureau of Statistics and Plans, received a $295,000 Project Grant award effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, under the AmeriCorps State Commissions Support Grant program (CFDA 94.003), administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management. This award provides funding to establish and operate Guam's independent, bipartisan state commission responsible for coordinating national service initiatives at the territorial level. The grant supports core commission functions including developing Guam's state service plan, providing technical assistance to organizations applying for AmeriCorps funding, delivering programmatic oversight of federally funded AmeriCorps programs, and facilitating administrative and strategic planning activities required under 45 CFR 2550.

The funded commission will serve as the critical intermediary between the federal government and local service organizations in Guam, enabling the recruitment, training, and deployment of AmeriCorps members to address community needs across education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, public health, and disaster services. The award requires a 50 percent non-federal match contribution; however, the budgeted match is currently listed as zero percent, triggering a special condition requiring the awardee to address this match deficiency. The three-year project period reflects the standard duration for this grant program, during which the recipient must maintain comprehensive financial and programmatic records subject to audit by AmeriCorps and federal oversight bodies.
