Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Maui received a Project Grant of $389,458 from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management for the 2026-27 AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP, CFDA 94.002), awarded on June 24, 2026. This award funds the establishment and operation of a senior volunteer program serving Maui County, Hawaii, through March 31, 2029. The program engages adults ages 55 and older in community service activities, with volunteers choosing their level of commitment ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week. Volunteers support critical community needs through tutoring and mentoring children, assisting with workforce development and job-readiness training, providing disaster preparedness and mitigation support, supporting food security initiatives, serving veterans and military families, and recruiting and managing additional volunteers.

The County of Maui is obligated to provide a non-federal match of 10.0% ($38,946) as a statutory requirement, though the organization has budgeted to exceed this obligation at 81.17% match. Pre-award costs are approved beginning 30 days prior to the award date. As an established program with a 53-year history, RSVP represents one of the nation's largest senior volunteer initiatives and provides participating seniors with opportunities to remain active and civically engaged while addressing diverse community service needs.
