GRANT Opportunity- PennSERVE AmeriCorps*State RFA Available !

Dear Community Service Colleague:

Please allow me to alert you to a national service grant opportunity, and encourage you to consider it for your organization. If for whatever reason you do not feel that this meets your needs at this time, please pass this information on to local community and/or faith-based organizations that you think may be interested in the operation of an AmeriCorps program.

PennSERVE: Governor Rendell’s Office of Citizen Service has issued a request for applications (RFA#-2007-ACS-01) for potential 2007-2008 AmeriCorps*State programs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Consistent with PennSERVE’s mission, the funding is designed to help organizations strengthen Commonwealth communities by implementing innovative service programs that address a compelling community need through the use of volunteers.

To access the grant application information, please visit our website at <a href="http://www.pennserve.state.pa.us">http://www.pennserve.state.pa.us</a> and "Click Here for Grant Opportunities." The deadline for submission is December 8, 2006.

We hope that you will carefully consider the role that you can play in meeting the service needs in your community, and the role that PennSERVE can play in supporting your efforts. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can answer any questions or provide assistance.
