This award funds the approved 2026-2027 americorps native nations planning grant program

The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management awarded $177,469 to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska (Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System division) on August 1, 2026, under the AmeriCorps State and National program (CFDA 94.006) to fund a 2026–2027 planning grant for the AmeriCorps Native Nations initiative. The planning grant operates for one year, with period of performance ending July 31, 2027, and carries no regulatory match requirement and zero percent budgetary match obligation. The recipient, a tribal healthcare entity operating as a division of the federally recognized Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, is headquartered in Winnebago, Nebraska, where the work is performed. AmeriCorps State and National grants support eligible organizations that engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities; members receive living allowances and other benefits, and upon successful completion earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loans. Grant recipients must maintain all financial and program records for three years from final Federal Financial Report submission, including personnel records, time cards, and criminal history check documentation for all individuals receiving compensation through the award.

Planning grants may only operate for one year. Your 2026-2027 regulatory match is waived and your budgetary match is 0%.
