AMENDED 9/1/2022
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services on behalf of the Commission on National and Community Service (hereafter “the Commission”) seeks applicants for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) AmeriCorps Formula 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 services, 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.
THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL IS FOR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AMERICORPS FORMULA FUNDING ONLY
This RFP’s federal funding comes from the New York State American Rescue Plan Formula pool of AmeriCorps national service funding (hereafter the “ARPA Formula pool”). The total amount available in the pool is determined by a “formula” applied by AmeriCorps, mainly based on state population. New York State received approximately $10.7 million in ARPA funding. New York State’s ARPA pool covers AmeriCorps programs through September 2025 and will fund two AmeriCorps program years. The ARPA funding cannot be renewed beyond that date. The recommendations made by the Commission must be approved by AmeriCorps before grants may be awarded. The Commission will recommend funding consortia of multiple organizations or agencies to establish and administer an AmeriCorps program or programs consistent with the program design, measures and mission outlined in this RFP. |
