About this opportunity
The Corporation for National and Community Service is soliciting applications for FY 2027 AmeriCorps State and National Competitive Grants to fund eligible organizations that engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed community service interventions, with applications due January 13, 2027. Eligible applicants include tribal governments (federally recognized and not federally recognized), state and local governments, county and special district governments, public and private higher education institutions, and 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits.
AmeriCorps members serve across community development, disaster prevention and relief, education, employment and labor training, environment, food and nutrition, health, housing, and other activity categories. Members receive living allowances and other benefits during service and earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon successful completion, applicable to higher education expenses or qualified student loan repayment.
Assistance is typically awarded for three-year project periods. Grant recipients must maintain all financial and program records for three years from final Federal Financial Report submission. All individuals receiving compensation through the program must clear a National Service Criminal History Check, with check records maintained within grant records.
The CFDA number is 94.006. Recent formula-based allocations from the program required 30 percent non-federal match. Representative recent awards include Texas at $34.97 million, Pennsylvania at $18.95 million, and New York at $23.06 million, with fixed-amount awards set at $25,000 per Member Service Year featured prominently in 2025–2026 disbursements.
