Solicitation Profile
The New York State Commission on National and Community Service (hereafter "the commission") seeks applicants for 2022-23 AmeriCorps Competitive grant funding. The Commission is a governor-appointed commission with a diverse, non-partisan body of, among others, representatives of business, labor, education, government, human service agencies and community-based organizations. The Commission directs national service policy for the state and directly administers funding awarded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (hereafter “AmeriCorps”) to support New York State AmeriCorps programs.

AmeriCorps is a federally funded service program that provides citizens the opportunity to engage in full- or part-time service to their communities. New York State AmeriCorps subgrants are awarded to public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based), other community organizations, Native American tribes, institutions of higher education, local governments, nonprofit organizations, state agencies or other non-federal governmental entities within states or territories (e.g., cities, counties), labor organizations, partnerships and consortia, and intermediaries that will operate solely in New York State and focus on one (1) or more of the six (6) focus areas identified by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. These focus areas are the following: disaster services, economic opportunity, education grants, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families.

THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR COMPETITIVE FUNDING ONLY (New and Re-competing)

Any application in response to this RFP is for the competitive pool of funding. The proposals forwarded to the Corporation by the Commission will compete with proposals from states across the country and from United States territories. They will also compete with proposals from organizations that operate and provide services in more than one state (hereafter "national direct organizations) for the same limited and competitive pool of funds.

Please see the RFP document for additional information and submission requirements.
