Required Data Points:

Number of new applicants that submitted one or more AmeriCorps applications to your commission

during the time period from January 1st-December 31st. “New applicant” is defined as an organization

should be counted only once, even if they submitted more than one application during this time period.

Number of subgrantees that received TTA and monitoring from the commission:

Number of CNCS-supported subgrantees, including AmeriCorps competitive, AmeriCorps formula, and
