AmeriCorps members have helped hundreds of community nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, schools, and local agencies meet local needs in education, the environment, public safety, economic opportunity, disaster preparedness, and other critical areas.
AmeriCorps state grants are awarded to eligible organizations to recruit, train, and manage AmeriCorps members who address unmet community needs in the Commonwealth. Members are individuals who engage in community service and may receive a living allowance during their term of service. Upon successful completion of their service, members receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust.
AmeriCorps Planning Grants provide resources to support the development of a new AmeriCorps program to Massachusetts organizations (nonprofits, schools, agencies, and community or faith-based groups) that do not currently receive AmeriCorps State funding from MSA.
The 2024-2025 AmeriCorps Planning Grant is a funding opportunity of up to $100,000 per 12-month grant, available to organizations interested in eventually hosting their own AmeriCorps State program.
To learn more, read the RFP, take a look at the budget worksheet, and follow the below steps:
