AmeriCorps Grants
Volunteer Maine's AmeriCorps 2027 state competition held in coordination with AmeriCorps State and National Competition is open for applications. More information on submitting a full application can be found in the Request for Proposals. The competition is held annually, and the next competition funds programs operating in the AmeriCorps 2027-28 Program Year, which runs for a one-year period starting no sooner than July 1, 2027. AmeriCorps will announce funding decisions for this competition in April 2027.
Volunteer Maine's competition is for single state AmeriCorps programs that propose operating only in Maine. Applicants that propose operating in multiple states apply directly to AmeriCorps through the national competition. Single state applicants must respond to Volunteer Maine's Request for Proposals and all applicable deadlines to be considered for funding.
AmeriCorps materials related to the competition can be found on the Maine Vendor Self-Service System linked below.
