AmeriCorps State Formula Request for Grant Applications and Washington Climate Corps Network
Serve Washington (Washington State Commission for National and Community Service)
Serve Washington runs AmeriCorps State Formula rounds for new/re-compete and continuation applicants, alongside the Washington Climate Corps Network, a state-funded biennial stream reached through a letter of intent followed by an invited application. Applicants must present evidence-based programme designs and demonstrate organisational competency to manage a complex federal grant, and three-year awards are sustained through annual continuation requests that turn on demonstrated programme and fiscal performance — an ongoing measurement obligation well suited to an academic partner.
- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)Published rate rather than an award ceiling: in Federal Fiscal Year 2026 the limit is $25,000 per Member Service Year, so award size scales with members requested (the page illustrates 20 MSYs as up to $500,000). The minimum full-time member living allowance is listed as $20,400 annually. Separately

- Annual cycleAnnual cycle · MayNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Annual for the formula stream: the FY2026 deadline was 7 May 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific with notification in the first week of June 2026, now passed. The Climate Corps Network runs on a two-year biennial cycle through 30 June 2027 with letters of intent accepted ahead of invited applications.
- Who can apply
- Community organisation, Practitioner
- Eligibility
- Organisations ready to implement an evidence-based AmeriCorps programme in Washington State and able to demonstrate strong organisational competencies for complex grant management. The Climate Corps Network is invitation-only after a letter of intent, so an unsolicited application is not possible on that line. Universities are not the intended grantee on the formula stream; the partner-to-grantee route is to be named as evaluator or evidence partner in an operating organisation's application.
