Serve Washington (Serve WA) helps improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through opportunities to serve and volunteer. This is accomplished through partnerships with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, Institutions of Higher Education, Local Governments, Nonprofit Organizations, and States.
AmeriCorps funding comes to Washington through two separate funding streams: formula and competitive funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service(CNCS). Well-managed organizations with strong organizational competencies tend to be most successful in administering complex grants like AmeriCorps. To help you determine whether your organization is poised to successfully administer an AmeriCorps grant, we recommend that you complete the AmeriCorps Readiness Assessment. Please note, a satisfactory score does not guarantee AmeriCorps funding through Serve WA or the CNCS.
AmeriCorps Readiness Assessment
What is the purpose of AmeriCorps funding?
AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations proposing to engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities. An AmeriCorps member is an individual who engages in community service through an approved national service position. Members may receive a living allowance and other benefits while serving. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans.
The following Non-Federal entities (as defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.69) who have an Employer Identification Number (EIN), a Dun and Bradstreet University Numbering System (DUNS), and are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) are eligible to apply:
Federally Recognized Indian Tribes (2 C.F.R. §200.54)
Institutions of Higher Education (2 C. F.R. §200.55)
Local Governments (2 C.F.R. §200.64)
Nonprofit Organizations (2 C.F.R. §200.70)
States (2 C.F.R. §200.90)
Organizations that have been convicted of a federal crime are disqualified from receiving this assistance.
If your organization is considering submitting an application to sponsor an AmeriCorps program, please review the frequently asked questions. Other useful information to help you decide if you should apply for an AmeriCorps grant is available on the CNCS website under Managing AmeriCorps Grants.
