To improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. AmeriCorps engages 270,000 members and volunteers to serve across the nation, embodying the commitment to betterment through active participation.
The AmeriCorps Nevada Planning Grants aim to financially support organizations in the development of AmeriCorps programs dedicated to addressing community problems solely in Nevada through evidence-based interventions. These interventions align with AmeriCorps' focus areas which include: Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environmental Stewardship, and Healthy Futures. The grants, offering up to $150,000 for a 12-month planning period, facilitate program planning without directly supporting AmeriCorps member positions. Applicants must design programs that align with one of the specified focus areas, aiming to improve lives, strengthen communities, and encourage civic engagement through service.
