Federal Project Grant Award Summary

On July 1, 2026, the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management awarded Positive Maturity, Inc. a Project Grant of $602,323 under the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (FGP, CFDA 94.011) for the 2026–27 program year, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2029. This award consolidates two prior grant awards and supports the continuation of FGP operations across multiple service areas in Alabama.

Under this award, Positive Maturity will engage senior volunteers aged 55 and older with limited incomes to provide one-on-one intergenerational mentoring, tutoring, and educational support to children with special needs or academic disadvantages. The FGP volunteers, serving approximately 20 hours per week, will be placed in schools, Head Start programs, and childcare centers throughout Alabama to deliver individualized tutoring, mentoring services, and parenting skills instruction. The award includes a 10 percent statutory match requirement and a 10.36 percent budgetary match, consistent with program standards for supporting the dual mission of engaging economically disadvantaged seniors in national service while delivering direct support to underserved populations.
