Oklahoma AmeriCorps
More than three-quarters of AmeriCorps grant funding goes to
Governor-appointed state service commissions, which in turn award and
monitor grants to hundreds of nonprofit groups and agencies. The other
quarter goes to national nonprofits that operate in more than one state.
The organizations that receive grants are responsible for recruiting,
selecting, and supervising AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps grantees
include national groups such as the U.S. Veterans Initiative, National
Council of La Raza, Catholic Network of Volunteer Service, and Boys and
Girls Clubs of America, as well as hundreds of smaller faith-based and
local community organizations. |
