AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Funding Opportunity

Application Deadline: Thursday, March 26, at 5:00 p.m.

Established in 1971 and now one of the largest senior volunteer programs in the nation, AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP engages people ages 55 and older in a diverse range of volunteer activities. AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve, with commitments ranging from a few hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week.

Among the funding priorities are supporting older adults, including custodial grandparents, and caregivers by providing respite, support groups, system navigation, care coordination, and resources.

Eligible applicants include tribal organizations, states, territories, nonprofit organizations, local governments, and institutions of higher education.

Award amounts will vary as determined by the scope of the projects. Applicants are required to match funds through local, non-federal contributions of cash or in-kind services. The required match is at least 10% of the total project budget.
