    Summary

    This program seeks to establish AmeriCorps State programs in Iowa. The purpose of AmeriCorps State is to engage AmeriCorps members in direct service and capacity-building activities to address unmet community needs. Local programs design service activities for a team of members serving full- or part-time for up to one year. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis to projects that support:

    • education,
    • healthy futures,
    • environmental stewardship,
    • veterans,
    • economic opportunities,
    • public safety,
    • disaster preparedness/response,
    • organizational capacity building,
    • and other identified community needs in Iowa.

    This program allows organizations to begin developing their plans to host an AmeriCorps program. Planning grant activities may involve work to establish a new program in Iowa or to replicate successful existing program models in unserved or underserved areas of Iowa. Organizations use planning grants to become better prepared to compete for an AmeriCorps program grant in the following grant cycle.
