What this is
This grant funds AmeriCorps programs operated by or serving Native American tribal governments and organizations. Selected organizations deploy AmeriCorps members in evidence-based community service roles addressing pressing local needs. Members earn living stipends during service and a Segal Education Award (up to $6,645 in FY2026) upon completion. This is primarily a workforce/community service funding stream, not a technology or innovation grant.
Who can apply
Only federally recognized Native American tribal governments or other Native American tribal organizations (regardless of federal recognition status) may apply. Applicant must be the tribal government or tribal-controlled organization itself, not a for-profit or non-tribal non-profit.
Eligible applicant types
- Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
- Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)
