Pennsylvania AmeriCorps State Grants

PennSERVE Announces a Request for Applications for 2019-2020 Pennsylvania AmeriCorps State Grants
Across the country, AmeriCorps engages more than 80,000 Americans in intensive service each year at nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups. AmeriCorps produces a triple bottom-line: for those who serve, those who are served, and for Pennsylvania’s communities.
Grants are available for the operation of AmeriCorps programs by community and faith-based organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions.
A complete description of the funding opportunity and application requirements is available in PennSERVE’s 2019 – 2020 Pennsylvania AmeriCorps State Competitive Grants: Request for Applications, available at http://www.dli.pa.gov/pennserve.
A Notice of Intent to Apply is required for this competition and is due by Thursday, October 25, at 5:00 pm. Applications are due Wednesday, November 28, by 5:00 pm.
