How can you use the power of service to make a greater impact?
Build your human capital—people power—with an AmeriCorps program that expands the reach and impact of your organization in Texas.
AmeriCorps Texas provides funding to support the development and operations of programs that engage individuals in direct service to address critical needs across Texas. AmeriCorps Texas applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
Planning Grant recipients receive financial support up to $75,000 and OneStar training & resources to develop an AmeriCorps program from September 2022-August 2023. Planning grantees are expected to be better prepared to compete for an AmeriCorps operating grant in the 2023-2024 grant cycle.
Operating Grant recipients should be prepared to launch an AmeriCorps program with AmeriCorps members starting service in September 2022. All AmeriCorps members must serve solely within Texas. Grant amount awarded is based on the number of AmeriCorps members serving with your program.
Coordinate with us to maximize your impact in Texas through your national AmeriCorps program.
Organizations that plan to place AmeriCorps members in Texas and either:
are required to consult with OneStar, as directed in the National Community Service Act. Based on our consultation, we provide input to AmeriCorps on applicants proposing to operate in Texas. We are always excited to learn of organizations interested in placing AmeriCorps members in our state!
