AmeriCorps Oregon Formula Funding

AmeriCorps Formula Grant Opportunities

As the AmeriCorps State Service Commission in Oregon, the OregonServes Commission (OSC) administers state AmeriCorps Program Grants. The AmeriCorps Formula Funding Grant Opportunity is funded through OSC’s AmeriCorps State Formula Funding Allocation and provides grant funding for two types of AmeriCorps program models:
(i) Formula Cost-Reimbursement Grants and
(ii) Formula Fixed Amount Grants.

These grants are awarded to organizations that propose to place AmeriCorps members in service solely within Oregon.

2026-27 Formula Grant | AmeriCorps Formula grants are awarded to eligible organizations that engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities.
