The Fiscal Year 2026 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Competition is an initiative by the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps) to fund communities that engage adults aged 55 and older in addressing pressing community needs. This is an open competition across all states and territories, with applications due by March 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Funding priorities include supporting older adults and caregivers, helping older adults re-enter the workforce, building strong families, preventing fraud and scams targeting older adults, reducing homelessness, and supporting behavioral health initiatives. Applicants must align their projects with one of AmeriCorps' primary focus areas (Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environmental Stewardship, Healthy Futures, or Veterans and Military Families) and meet specific performance goals for unduplicated volunteers. The federal share of the budget cannot exceed $75,000 plus $350 per unduplicated volunteer, and a 10% match of total allowable costs is required. Eligible applicants include Indian Tribes, institutions of higher education, local governments, non-profit organizations, and states/US Territories. Applications are submitted electronically via eGrants and undergo a rigorous review process, including compliance, eligibility, risk assessment, and consideration of strategic factors by the CEO.
