Serveminnesota

Serveminnesota, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization and Minnesota's state service commission, administers federal AmeriCorps grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service as a prime grant recipient, deploying AmeriCorps members across education, environmental stewardship, economic opportunity, public health, and community development initiatives in Minnesota. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a grant recipient (82% of 68 recent awards) rather than as a federal contractor; it receives sub-awards for refugee social services from the Minnesota Department of Human Services under federal grants, but carries no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint.

Serveminnesota's federal funding is dominated by AmeriCorps State and National formula and competitive awards from the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management. The vendor is the recipient of a $4.782 million AmeriCorps State and National award dated August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2029, which funds over 20 programs including Climate Impact Corps, Conservation Corps Minnesota, housing navigation services for individuals experiencing homelessness, and early childhood literacy programs with a required 30% non-federal match. A second $695,750 fixed-amount award, dated the same date and running through July 31, 2029, deploys AmeriCorps members through sub-recipients Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ($695,750, 27.83 member service years) and Teach for America Inc (42 allocated member service year slots at zero cost). Serveminnesota also holds a $489,822 AmeriCorps Commission Investment Fund award dated September 10, 2025, running through June 30, 2028, which funds training, technical assistance, and professional development activities to strengthen Serveminnesota's capacity as the state service commission. Earlier awards include an AmeriCorps State Competitive grant dated August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2027; AmeriCorps formula awards dated August 1, 2023, with ultimate completion extended to December 31, 2026; and Commission Support and Investment Fund grants running from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.

The vendor's customer base is narrow and highly concentrated. The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management and the broader Corporation for National and Community Service account for 56 of 68 awards (82% coverage). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families holds 11 awards, primarily sub-awards for refugee social services flowing from the Minnesota Department of Human Services, with one award from the Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences. The combined dollars obligated across all 68 awards total $983.7 million, with award volume stable at 4 to 6 awards annually from 2022 through 2025; only two awards appear in 2026 in the source data, likely reflecting reporting lag. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing modest recompete activity in that window.
