PennSERVE announces the opportunity to apply for grant funding for the development of Delaware River Climate Corps (DRCC) AmeriCorps programs by community and faith-based organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions. Planning Grants allow organizations to develop plans to implement an AmeriCorps program. DRCC Planning Grant activities will involve work to establish a new AmeriCorps program in Pennsylvania; or to replicate or expand a successful existing AmeriCorps program into one or more Pennsylvania communities. Organizations use Planning Grants to become better prepared to compete for an AmeriCorps program grant in the following grant cycle; however, a Planning Grant award does not guarantee the applicant will be awarded a program operating grant in future cycles. Planning Grants may not be used to support AmeriCorps members. For this competition, Planning Grant awards may not exceed $25,000.
