2025 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Competition – Sep 18
Posted by AmeriCorps on July 23, 2024
AmeriCorps has released the Fiscal Year 2025 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity. Since 1971, RSVP has engaged older Americans in volunteer service that meets national and community needs and delivers lasting, meaningful results to those communities. With this Notice of Funding Opportunity, AmeriCorps intends to fund successful applicants that increase the impact of volunteers ages 55 and older who provide volunteer service in response to local community needs.
Eligible applicants include public agencies, government entities within states or territories (e.g., cities, counties), institutes of higher education, Indian tribes, and private and non-profit organizations, both secular and faith based.
The AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP competition runs over a three-year period, with FY 2025 being the first year of new awards. Incumbent grantees with a 22SR grant number must submit an application in response to the FY 2025 Competition Notice and be selected to maintain funding. Incumbent grantees approved by AmeriCorps Seniors to be temporary sponsors for a fully relinquished geographic service area must submit an application to the FY 2025 Competition Notice and be selected to continue services. If incumbent grantees with a 22SR grant number or temporary sponsors fail to apply or be selected for funding, their current grants will end on Monday, March 31, 2025.
Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, September 18, 2024. Successful applicants will be issued awards by end of March 2025.
AmeriCorps Seniors will host a series of webinars to introduce potential applicants to the funding opportunities. Webinar topics will include an overview of AmeriCorps, examples of funded programs, a review of the notice, budgets, an overview of performance measurement, submitting your application using the eGrants platform, and more. AmeriCorps strongly encourages all potential applicants to attend these sessions.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity and supporting documents associated with this notice can be found on the Funding Opportunity page.
If you have questions at any time during the application period, please email RSVPCompetition@AmeriCorps.gov.
