Planning Grants

Planning grants provide funding to help organizations develop new AmeriCorps programs to address community challenges. Planning grants are cost reimbursement grants up to $150,000. For planning grantees that choose to apply for a full AmeriCorps program and are successful, we strive to minimize the time it takes to move from the planning stage to program implementation. 

Planning grant competitions are closed until further notice.
