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.
Eligible applicants must be able to support a cohort of AmeriCorps members serving solely in Texas. See below for funding opportunities.
New Applicant AmeriCorps funding opportunity is available to organizations new to AmeriCorps programming. Only applicants that do not currently have AmeriCorps Texas funding through OneStar should apply under this AmeriCorps funding opportunity.
Public Health AmeriCorps (PHA) is only open to continuation applicants. Only PHA AmeriCorps programs that are currently operating a PHA through OneStar should apply under this current AmeriCorps funding opportunity. PHA will not be open to new applicants.
Current AmeriCorps funding opportunities are available to current AmeriCorps Texas grantees in a continuation or recompete year. Only AmeriCorps programs that are operating an AmeriCorps Texas program through OneStar in 2023-2024 should apply under this AmeriCorps funding opportunity.
Coordinate with us to maximize your impact in Texas through your national AmeriCorps program.
Organizations that plan to place AmeriCorps members in Texas and operate in multiple states and are applying for AmeriCorps National Direct funding 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! To get started, please complete the consultation form linked below.
Expand your organization’s capacity to fight poverty in your community.
OneStar AmeriCorps VISTA Project places skilled individuals with a diverse range of backgrounds at nonprofits and agencies throughout the state of Texas. AmeriCorps VISTA members serve full-time for one year on transformative, capacity-building projects that mobilize local resources and act as a catalyst for meaningful change for your organization.
We accept applications from organizations to host AmeriCorps VISTA members year round on a rolling basis. Organizations contribute a host site fee of $8,700 per VISTA member.

In addition to the funding and resource opportunities administered by OneStar, there are additional national service resources available to Texas communities through the Federal agency, AmeriCorps. OneStar believes that national service can accelerate the impact of any organization. If an AmeriCorps Texas grant or hosting an AmeriCorps VISTA through OneStar is not the right fit, check out these additional national service funding and resource opportunities.
