2014 VetSuccess AmeriCorps

Posted by on January 06, 2014

Update for 2014 VetSuccess AmeriCorps Applicants

CNCS has extended the due date for submitting a letter of intent for VetSuccess applications.

The due date for other AmeriCorps State and National applications has passed and will not be extended.

The new due date for VetSuccess letters of intent is January 21, 2014 by 5:00 pm EST.

Notifications should be sent by e-mail to IntentToApply@cns.gov (SUBJECT: AmeriCorps State and National Notice of Intent.) CNCS will not consider notifications received after the deadline. Failure to submit a Notice of Intent to Apply will render an applicant ineligible to apply. All Notices of Intent to Apply will receive an email response acknowledging receipt. Single state programs applying through a State Commission should not provide this information directly to CNCS.

The Notice of Intent to Apply should include:

• Name and address of the applicant organization
• Contact person, email address, and phone number
• Type of grant for which you intend to apply (and that the application will address VetSuccess)
• State Commissions: include an estimate of the number of new VetSuccess applications planned for submission.

We are also hosting a series of technical assistance calls for VetSuccess and Veterans and Military Family programs. We had one in December (you can listen to a replay) – see information below. Please join us to learn more about this grant opportunity.
