2020 AmeriCorps State-Supported Grants Continuation Funding Opportunity

Grant Description

California Volunteers is now accepting applications to continue existing funding into the 2020 program year. Eligible applicants may apply for a combination of state and federal funds to continue their current program design or propose a new program design that engage AmeriCorps members in activities directly related to the state’s emergency response and recovery, such as COVID-19 efforts to help communities recover from the pandemic, activities that activate community climate action, services that combat food insecurity, education support to reduce learning loss, and programs that support economic opportunity.

Eligible Applicants

AmeriCorps grantees that are currently receiving state matching funds from California Volunteers are eligible to apply for continuation under this RFA. This applies to specifically programs that were established through the FY 2019 Civic Action Fellowship Pilot, San Joaquin Valley Service Expansion, and Targeted Priority funding opportunities.
