Federal Grant Award Summary

Tri Valley Opportunity Council Inc. received a $355,036 Project Grant award effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011). This award funds the organization's 2026–27 FGP program cycle in Minnesota, requiring an 11.43% budgetary match with no statutory match obligation.

Under this award, TVOC engages senior volunteers aged 55 and older with limited incomes to provide intergenerational services to children with special needs and academically or socially disadvantaged youth. Program volunteers deliver approximately 20 hours per week of direct one-on-one mentoring, tutoring, literacy instruction, and educational support in schools, Head Start programs, childcare centers, and other community settings. Additionally, volunteers provide parenting skills education to young parents and developmental support services for children with disabilities. As a tax-exempt community action agency headquartered in Crookston, Minnesota, TVOC leverages this funding to address critical community educational gaps while creating meaningful volunteer engagement opportunities for seniors in the Tri Valley region and surrounding communities.
