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.
In the absence of a state commission, states and territories apply directly to the Corporation. 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. Program must also be located in a state or U.S. territory that does not have an approved state commission for national and community service or alternative administrative entity. Applicant applies directly to the Corporation.
