The award funds investments in volunteer management practices that strengthen nonprofit organizations and other entities' ability to recruit and retain volunteers to meet critical community needs. AmeriCorps targets effective approaches that expand volunteering, build capacity in volunteer connector organizations to recruit skill-based volunteers, and develop strategies to deploy volunteers effectively to solve community problems while enhancing civic engagement and workforce development.

Grant recipients must preserve all financial and program records for three years from the date of submission of the final Federal Financial Report, including receipts, disbursements, vouchers, time cards, contracts, personnel records, criminal history checks, and program execution and performance documentation. All individuals receiving salary or similar compensation through this national service program must clear a National Service Criminal History Check, with records maintained within the grant files. AmeriCorps retains audit authority through its employees, Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, and contracted auditors.
