The competition is national, but awards are made for three years.
This competition usually runs September – December, with award decisions announced in April. In the Formula Grant Competition , organizations submit applications to Volunteer NH who review and make funding determinations based upon NH-specific priorities. This is a state-only competition; however, the amount of funding is limited and awards are only made on a one-year basis.
This competition usually runs February-April, with award decisions announced in May. If an organization wishes to operate an AmeriCorps program that operates in more than one state, they must apply directly to AmeriCorps. Learn more here .
