Our AmeriCorps Planning Grant

Peace Through Action AmeriCorps Planning Grant Summary

Peace Through Action USA received an award in 2023-2024 from AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, to plan a national service program focused on civic engagement and social cohesion. AmeriCorps made its award in February 2023 through the AmeriCorps State and National American Rescue Plan Planning Grants funding opportunity. The $76,717 award, matched with $52,428 in private funding, provided us time and resources to build an AmeriCorps program that would be excellent, compliant, enduring, and ready to compete for an operating grant in a future funding cycle.
