This award funds the approved 2026?27 americorps formula award

The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management awarded the Washington State Office of Financial Management $6.067 million on September 1, 2026, under AmeriCorps State and National (CFDA 94.006), a Project Grant supporting AmeriCorps member deployment across Washington State through August 31, 2029.

The award funds approved AmeriCorps programming with a required 30 percent non-federal match. No volunteer enrollment occurs until assigned programs are incorporated into the award and the enrollment period commences. The place of performance is Washington.

AmeriCorps members serve with organizations dedicated to community improvement through evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions. Members receive living allowances and other benefits; upon successful service completion, they earn Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loan repayment. The funding obligation of $6.067 million supports member recruitment, training, and management by eligible recipient organizations addressing identified community needs.

Recipients must maintain all grant financial and program records—including receipts, disbursements, vouchers, time cards, contracts, personnel records, and criminal history checks—for three years from final Federal Financial Report submission. All individuals receiving compensation through the program must clear a National Service Criminal History Check. Grant use must remain consistent with the approved application. Assistance typically spans project periods of three years, with obligations during the award period and liquidation by closeout deadline per 2 CFR 200, Subpart E.

No volunteer may enroll until assigned programs are added to the award and the volunteer enrollment period has begun. Your 2026?27 required match is 30%.
