Subject to the availability of appropriations for fiscal year 2007, the Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) announces the anticipated availability of approximately $88,000,000 to award to new and re-competing AmeriCorps State and National grants. The grants in AmeriCorps State are: State Competitive; States, Territories and Commonwealths without Commissions; and State Education Award Program (EAP). The grants in AmeriCorps National are: National Direct; National EAP; National Planning; National Professional Corps; and Indian Tribes. The Corporation anticipates that at least 15% of the funds described in this Notice will support applicants that have not received an AmeriCorps State or National operational grant in the last five years. Applicants that have received only a formula operational grant within the last five years will be considered new for purposes of this 15% target.
State and Territories Competitive grants are awarded to organizations that are nominated to participate in a nationwide competition by Governor-appointed state commissions. Grantees receive funds to pay the members’ living allowance and support program costs. Eligible organizations include public or private nonprofit organizations, including labor organizations; faith-based and other community organizations; institutions of higher education; government entities within states or territories (e.g., cities, counties); Indian Tribes; or a partnership or consortia consisting of the aforementioned are eligible to apply. Intermediaries are encouraged to apply.
