AmeriCorps Indian Tribes Grants

Posted by Corporation for National and Community Service on March 7, 2016

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is announcing the availability of AmeriCorps Indian Tribes grant funding that will place AmeriCorps members on the ground to help tackle the unique challenges facing Native American communities.

The AmeriCorps funding opportunity for federally-recognized Indian Tribes is designed to target resources on a core set of challenges: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families.

Applications for AmeriCorps funding are due on Wednesday, May 4, 2016. Successful applicants will be notified in July 2016.

Visit http://www.nationalservice.gov/build-your-capacity/grants/funding-opportunities/2016/fy2016-americorps-indian-tribes-grants to access the full Notice of Funding, technical assistance information and a schedule of the agency’s upcoming topical calls to support applicants as they prepare to apply.

Additionally, CNCS will hold a Tribal Applicant Training in Albuquerque, NM, on April 5-7, 2016, to provide training and assistance to interested grant applicants.

For questions about the funding opportunity or to receive additional information about the April training, please email AmeriCorpsGrants@cns.gov.
