Grant Description: The Corporation for National and Community Service (hereinafter the Corporation) announces the availability of approximately $1,488,000 to award Next Generation Grants. The Corporation expects to make 5 to 10 awards that range in amounts from approximately $100,000 to $300,000 covering a period not to exceed 2 years. The purpose of these grants is to foster the next generation of national service organizations by providing seed money to organizations proposing new projects or programs that have the potential to become national in scope. These grants will fund innovative strategies that effectively engage volunteers in service in the following two areas: 1. Engaging adults age 50+ in part-time and full-time service opportunities; and 2. Improving the lives of disadvantaged youth through service and mentoring. The Corporation wants to ensure that all eligible organizations are able to compete on an equal basis for federal financial assistance.

Applicants who have received any previous grant award from the Corporation are not eligible for a Next Generation Grant. Applicants must also be able to develop programs that have the potential to become national in scope, or provide a compelling case that the model could be replicated in other locations. Applicants must propose one or both of the strategies listed above. Applicants as defined by this announcement include the following: 1. Start-Up Organizations are organizations that have been operating for two years or less; 2. New Organizations are organizations that have been operating for two to five years; and 3.
