Federal Grant Award Summary

Serve Wyoming received a Project Grant award of $1,329,699.00 from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. This formula award funds the deployment of AmeriCorps members in full-time and part-time community service positions throughout Wyoming to address unmet needs in priority areas including education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, disaster response, public health, community development, civic engagement, and youth development. AmeriCorps members serve with Serve Wyoming and its partner organizations, providing evidence-based service interventions while receiving living allowances and benefits. Upon successful completion of service, members earn Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loan repayment.

As Wyoming's state service commission, Serve Wyoming administers program operations including member recruitment, training, and management; oversight of community service delivery; and coordination with nonprofit and community partner organizations across the state. The award requires a 30 percent non-federal match and supports Serve Wyoming's mission to strengthen Wyoming communities through volunteerism, with particular emphasis on serving older adults, individuals facing food insecurity, persons with disabilities, those living below the poverty level, and veterans. No volunteer enrollment may commence until assigned programs are added to the award and the volunteer enrollment period begins.
