Iowa 2027–2028 AmeriCorps State Funding Opportunity

Volunteer Iowa has opened the 2027–2028 Iowa AmeriCorps State competition for eligible Iowa nonprofits, local governments, higher education institutions, school districts, and Indian Tribes proposing single-state AmeriCorps programs. Funding and deadlines vary by grant track.

FundingOperational grants: competitive up to $26,800 per MSY; formula up to $27,000 per MSY. Planning grants: up to $75,000 for new organizations and $45,000 for existing grantees planning a new program or expansion. Annual funding depends on federal appropriations.
DeadlineTrack-specific under the controlling 2027–2028 RFA: Competitive Continuation and Competitive New/Recompete pre-applications due October 5, 2026; Competitive Continuation final due November 13, 2026; Competitive New/Recompete final due December 1, 2026; Formula-only pre-application due February 5, 2027; Formula-only final due March 19, 2027. The RFA does not publish a submission clock time or time zone. Volunteer Iowa's summary webpage and IowaGrants description conflict with the RFA by describing October 5 as returning-only, February 5 as new-applicant, and March 29 as the formula final deadline. Atlas uses the RFA dates as controlling unless Volunteer Iowa issues a formal correction.
Required next actionIdentify the applicant's exact Competitive Continuation, Competitive New/Recompete, or Formula-only track and follow the controlling RFA for the applicable pre-application and final-submission sequence. Confirm organizational eligibility, SAM.gov/UEI readiness, member-slot and MSY requirements, required match or cost structure, IowaGrants/eGrants access, staffing, budget, and performance-measure readiness before submission. Because Volunteer Iowa's public summary and RFA show conflicting dates for some applicant types, treat the RFA as controlling unless Volunteer Iowa issues a formal correction.
