The South Carolina Commission on National and Community Service, also known as AmeriCorps SC, is accepting proposals for its FY2027 State Competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity. AmeriCorps SC is South Carolina’s State Service Commission and is under the custodianship of the United Way Association of South Carolina.
Funding
AmeriCorps SC states that its subgrant awards typically range from $100,000 to $500,000. Organizations within their first three years of grant funding generally must provide a combined cash and in-kind match equal to at least 24% of total AmeriCorps project operating cost. The controlling FY2027 NOFO governs final award and match terms.
Eligibility
Generally eligible organizations include faith-based institutions, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, labor organizations, nonprofit organizations, partnerships and consortia, schools, school districts, institutions of higher education, and state and local government agencies. Applicants should confirm final eligibility under the FY2027 NOFO before submission.
Program Focus
AmeriCorps national service focus areas include Education, Economic Opportunity, Healthy Futures, Environmental Stewardship, Disaster Services, and Veterans and Military Families.
Deadline
The official AmeriCorps SC funding page lists both the Notice of Intent and the Full Application as due October 30, 2026. Projects are scheduled to run from July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028. The public page does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, and the linked SharePoint NOFO is not publicly readable through the current web path. Applicants should therefore verify the controlling NOFO directly before submission.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. This is a significant South Carolina-administered federal pass-through opportunity with broad eligible applicant classes and strong relevance to health, workforce, veterans, disaster, education, and community service.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100 direct procurement fit. This is a national-service operating grant rather than a healthcare-equipment procurement program. Any technology role would need to arise from an applicant-led, allowable service design.
