ServeMinnesota provides annual grants to support nonprofits, local governments, institutes of higher education, and Indian Tribes in hosting AmeriCorps programs. Grantees must use research-based measures of program outcomes to generate valid and reliable data that are available to ServeMinnesota for evaluation and public reporting purposes. If you’re interested in how AmeriCorps could support your organization, sign up for updates on grant opportunities or reach out to us directly at grants@achador.net.
