Projects funded tend to be sophisticated in program design and experienced in delivering high quality impactful initiatives. A subsequent AmeriCorps funding opportunity for smaller scale or newer initiatives is projected for Spring 2013

For 2013-2014 investment of funds will prioritize programs working in the focus areas of Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environmental Stewardship, Healthy Futures, and Veterans & Military Families. Programs funded will begin September 1, 2013.
