AmeriCorps Partnership Challenge:
Through the AmeriCorps Partnerships Challenge applicants will develop proposals to address community needs by engaging AmeriCorps members. Applicants would apply as an Education Award Program and request no operating funds. Program utilizing this avenue need to clearly present the funding source to cover the full cost of operating the program, the management plan to support this effort, and the staffing overview to insure compliance with all AmeriCorps grant requirements.
Application Deadline:
The deadline is Thursday, July 23, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Organizations that propose to operate in only one state should contact their Governor-appointed State or Territory Commissions. Each state and territory may administer its own selection process and put forward to CNCS the applicants it selects to compete for funding. State applicants must contact their State Commissions to learn about their state or territory processes and deadlines which may be significantly before the CNCS deadlines and may have additional requirements. Some Commissions may direct applicants to apply directly to CNCS. Multi-state applicants, Federally-recognized Indian Tribes, and Territories without Commissions should apply directly to CNCS.
Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications may be submitted as early as June 29th.
CNCS expects that successful applicants will be notified no later than August 28, 2015.
