Federal Grant Award Summary

Advocap Inc. received a $345,145 Project Grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service under the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP, CFDA 94.002) awarded June 23, 2026. The award funds Advocap's approved 2026-27 RSVP program, which engages volunteers ages 55 and older in community service delivery across east central Wisconsin. Through this funding, the program will deploy senior volunteers to mentor and tutor children, support workforce development and job-readiness initiatives, facilitate intergenerational programming, and provide community engagement services. The award requires a 10 percent non-federal match ($34,515) and has an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2029, with pre-award costs authorized beginning 30 days prior to the award date.

The AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP program leverages the time commitment flexibility of senior volunteers, who may serve anywhere from a few hours to 40 hours weekly. Advocap's award integrates with the organization's existing community development infrastructure serving Fond du Lac, Green Lake, and Winnebago counties, complementing its broader portfolio of homelessness interventions, microenterprise development, and social services delivery. As a longstanding federal grant recipient with 128 prime awards and $111.9 million in combined federal obligations, Advocap demonstrates established capacity to administer AmeriCorps funding and deliver measurable community impact through volunteer-based service models.
