Opportunity Information: Apply for AC 08 20 23
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 AmeriCorps State and National Native Nation Planning Grants is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by AmeriCorps (CFDA 94.006) to support Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations in the early-stage development of future AmeriCorps programs. The core purpose is planning: funding is provided so recipients can design a program that, once launched in a later cycle, would place AmeriCorps members in communities to carry out evidence-based interventions that address locally identified problems. AmeriCorps frames this competition within its Nation-to-Nation relationship with Tribal Nations and its commitment to the federal Tribal trust responsibility.
These are planning grants only, meaning the funds are intended to help an eligible applicant build the foundation for an AmeriCorps program rather than operate one immediately. Activities typically associated with planning include assessing community needs, selecting and adapting evidence-based strategies, developing partnerships and service delivery models, designing member roles and supervision structures, building performance measurement and evaluation approaches, and preparing to submit a full program application in the next grant cycle if the model is a good fit. A key restriction is that planning grant funds may not be used to support AmeriCorps members; no member slots can be funded under this award.
Awards are available up to an award ceiling of $240,000 for a 12-month planning period. The project period cannot exceed one year, and the applicant proposes a start date, with the important condition that the start date cannot be earlier than the date AmeriCorps makes the award. The funding instrument is a grant, and applicants must apply under a cost reimbursement structure, which generally means the recipient incurs allowable costs and then requests repayment consistent with AmeriCorps requirements.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity is broad in terms of possible focus areas, aligning with AmeriCorps State and National programming across multiple categories such as community development, disaster prevention and relief, education, employment/labor/training, environment, food and nutrition, health, housing, and other community priorities, as long as the resulting program concept would be suitable for AmeriCorps member service and grounded in evidence-based interventions.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is listed as AC 08 20 23, was created on August 18, 2023, and had an original closing date of April 5, 2024.
