Federal Project Grant Award Summary

La Works received a $330,150 Project Grant award dated June 24, 2026, from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management to support the 2026-27 AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) (CFDA 94.002). The award funds senior volunteer initiatives engaging adults ages 55 and older in community service across California through March 31, 2029. La Works will deploy RSVP volunteers to deliver services including mentoring and tutoring children, supporting workforce development and job-readiness training, providing disaster preparedness and mitigation support, facilitating food security programs, and serving veterans and military families. Volunteers participate flexibly, choosing their service commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week based on individual capacity.

The award requires a 10.0% statutory match requirement, which La Works has budgeted at 21.95%, demonstrating commitment above the minimum threshold. La Works is approved for pre-award costs beginning 30 days prior to the award date. As a Los Angeles-based nonprofit, La Works leverages this funding as part of its broader portfolio of AmeriCorps service programs focused on poverty alleviation and social services across the Los Angeles County and Southern California region.
