FY 2027 AmeriCorps State and National Competitive Grants – AC-08-28-26
FY 2027 AmeriCorps State and National grants prioritize rural communities, youth mental health and substance-use recovery, workforce pathways, veterans, families, public safety, and formerly incarcerated or at-risk youth. Federal applications are due January 13, 2027 at 5:00 PM ET, with earlier state-commission deadlines for single-state applicants.
Required next actionMontana routing remains verified from ServeMontana. The live ServeMontana Competitive Program Grant page now visibly lists an FY2027 resource set, including an FY27 Competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity, FY27 Mandatory Supplemental Information, FY27 Application Instructions, FY27 Performance Measure Instructions, Letter of Intent Form, Logic Model Template, Evaluation Plan Summary Form, Budget Worksheet, and Match Waiver Request Form. However, the same controlling page still states that the official Montana Competitive Notice will be posted October 6, 2026. Treat the currently exposed FY27 resources as early/pre-official materials that may still change. For Montana single-state applicants, use October 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM MST for the Letter of Intent and associated documents and October 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM MST for the complete application and additional documents, not the January 13, 2027 federal deadline. Do not start new applicant outreach or package production until the October 6 official-posting control is satisfied or ServeMontana affirmatively changes it. On or after that point, re-review the complete current state notice, match rules, scoring matrix, required forms, submission mechanics, and addenda before routing eligible Montana organizations.
