AmeriCorps Connecticut Formula federal funding is awarded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to Serve Connecticut, which then subgrants these funds to successful applicants in its Connecticut-based Formula grant application process. This is an annual process that is open to all eligible applicants as funding availability allows.

AmeriCorps Connecticut Competitive federal funding is awarded by AmeriCorps, the agency, to successful applicants of its nationwide Competitive process, which is administered through Serve Connecticut’s competitive grant application process for AmeriCorps State (single-state) applicants.

Serve Connecticut’s AmeriCorps State Competitive funding process is run by Commission invitation only and is closed to all but select single-state applications from eligible entities that meet certain threshold requirements of experience as an AmeriCorps State and National program.

Exception: Serve Connecticut’s Public Health AmeriCorps funding process does accept single-state applications for Public Health AmeriCorps funding through an open process. Click here to access the Notice of Funding Opportunity and associated guidance.
