The Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management awarded $23.7 million on August 20, 2025, under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006) to the Washington State Office of Financial Management. This fixed-amount Project Grant, funded at $14,664.75 per Member Service Year (MSY), supports approved 2025-26 AmeriCorps formula programs through August 19, 2028. The award enables eligible organizations to deploy AmeriCorps members in full-time community service positions addressing unmet needs in priority areas including education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, and disaster response. AmeriCorps members serve in evidence-based interventions while receiving living allowances and benefits, and upon successful completion earn Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loan repayment.

The award funds two primary sub-grantees delivering targeted community services across Washington State. The Chelan-Douglas County Community Action Council will deploy 20 AmeriCorps members ($499,000 investment) across Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanagan Counties to support food security, literacy education, and financial education for adults and K-12 students, leveraging 120 volunteers. The Washington Conservation Corps will deploy 257 AmeriCorps members across 37 Washington counties to complete environmental stewardship activities, restore 1,080 acres of public parks or tribal land, improve 270 miles of public trail accessibility, and provide disaster assistance to low-income individuals in overburdened communities, while leveraging 3,000 volunteers and securing $19.56 million in additional public and private matching funding.

This award is a fixed amount grant at $14,664.75 per MSY. No member may enroll prior to the approved start date of the member enrollment period.
