AmeriCorps

AmeriCorps Grant Guidelines

AmeriCorps provides resources, both human and financial, to organizations that engage Americans in intensive service to meet our country’s critical needs.

Please note that AmeriCorps provides grants only to organizations, not to individuals. Grantees use the funding to support AmeriCorps members for intensive service in their community. AmeriCorps grants partially cover the expense of operating an AmeriCorps program and do not cover general organizational expenses. A cash and in-kind match is required.

The Louisiana Serve Commission AmeriCorps*State grant cycle is an annual cycle, usually beginning in the Fall of one year for funding beginning in the Fall of the following year.  The application process is a lengthy, multi-level process with applicants, being required to provide a thorough narrative outlining program design, a timeline designed to include recruitment, selection and training of members, and an all inclusive operating budget.
