Opportunity Information: Apply for AC 12 13 24
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 AmeriCorps State and National Native Nation Planning Grants is a discretionary grant opportunity from AmeriCorps designed specifically to support Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations as they explore and build an AmeriCorps program that fits local priorities. The focus is on planning and program development, not running an AmeriCorps project yet. AmeriCorps frames this opportunity within its Nation-to-Nation commitment to Tribal Nations, its federal trust responsibility, and support for tribal self-determination, with the intent of helping communities design service strategies that reflect tribal goals and community-defined needs.
Funding supports a 12-month planning period, with an award ceiling of up to $240,000 per grantee. The purpose of the funding is to help an eligible applicant develop a future AmeriCorps program that would eventually place AmeriCorps members to address community problems. Typical planning work under opportunities like this can include assessing community needs, building partnerships, designing the program model and member service activities, establishing performance measures and data collection approaches, developing budgets and operational systems, and preparing to compete for a full AmeriCorps program grant in a subsequent cycle. A key restriction is that planning grant funds cannot be used to support AmeriCorps members; in other words, this funding is for design and readiness activities rather than enrolling members and delivering direct service through AmeriCorps positions.
Applicants must apply under a cost reimbursement grant structure, meaning funds are generally drawn down based on allowable costs incurred and documented rather than provided upfront as a lump sum. The project period is limited to no more than one year. Applicants propose their own project start date, but it cannot be earlier than the date AmeriCorps officially makes the award, so planning timelines must account for the award decision and any post-award steps before expenses can begin.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity is administered by AmeriCorps under CFDA 94.006 and is categorized across several broad public-purpose areas, reflecting the range of community challenges an eventual AmeriCorps program might address, including community development, disaster prevention and relief, education, employment/labor/training, environment, food and nutrition, health, housing, and other community priorities.
The funding opportunity number is AC 12 13 24. The notice was created on December 12, 2024, and the application deadline is April 9, 2025. While the number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, the structure of the program makes clear that recipients are encouraged, after completing the planning year, to decide whether an AmeriCorps program grant is a good fit and, if so, to apply in the next grant cycle with a stronger, community-aligned program design and implementation plan.Apply for AC 12 13 24
