Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Competition

AmeriCorps · AC-08-20-2026 · Deadline: October 20, 2026

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 94.002, AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) 94.002), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 227 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
