2023-2024 AmeriCorps State Request for Applications - Formula Pool
Funding Overview
On February 12, 2023, the Serve New Mexico Commission released its Request for Applications (RFA: #23-631-7004-00076), based on AmeriCorps Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2023–2024 Program Year. The 2023 “Formula” competition is to request applications to establish AmeriCorps programs throughout the State of New Mexico to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic participation through service.
This funding competition is called “Formula” because AmeriCorps uses a population-based formula to distribute AmeriCorps program funding to each state. The Commission’s application and review process is designed to identify and determine which programs will be funded with these formula funds. See RFA 23-631-7004-00076 (below) for Program Year 2023–2024 funding priorities.
