Broad Eligibility
Eligible organizations proposing evidence-based or evidence-informed AmeriCorps programs with service sites only in Wisconsin apply through Serve Wisconsin. The controlling RFP defines detailed organizational, program, match, member, and compliance requirements.
Atlas Analysis
A current Wisconsin education/community-service funding opportunity with a clear application process and substantial program-development requirements. It can support education-focused AmeriCorps programming, but it is not an N9+ or QC Healthcare purchasing pathway; N9+ Direct Vendor Fit is 0/100 absent a separately allowable, program-integrated procurement mechanism in the controlling RFP.
Serve Wisconsin opened the 2027–28 AmeriCorps Competitive Program Grant Request for Proposals on September 4, 2026. Competitive Program grants fund a portion of program costs and AmeriCorps members’ living allowances for evidence-based or evidence-informed service programs that address local unmet needs, including educational, public-safety, environmental, disaster-response, and other community needs.
Organizations proposing AmeriCorps service only at Wisconsin sites submit through Serve Wisconsin. The current RFP page requires a Notification of Intent to Apply by October 2, 2026 at midnight, written questions by October 14, 2026 at 11:59 p.m., and the full application plus required additional documents by October 16, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. The current opportunity-specific RFP page confirms applications are being accepted; applicants should rely on that page and the current RFP package if broader Serve Wisconsin funding pages display older status language.
Applications are submitted in AmeriCorps eGrants, with required additional documents submitted by email as directed in the RFP. This is a national-service program grant rather than a healthcare-technology purchase opportunity.
