By completing the online form found here, multi-state applicants will initiate consultation for those participating commissions. Click here for a PDF of the form for your reference (please do not submit a completed PDF, use only the online form). 

This consultation process single form and the accompanying requested documents are due in advance of the FY23 AmeriCorps State and National application deadline established by the AmeriCorps Agency: 
  • Monday, November 14, 2022 - Planning Grant Applicants

When possible, it is encouraged that applicants initiate consultation with state service commissions as soon as possible.

More Information About Consultation
As part of the Serve America Act, National Direct Consultation was established to help increase collaboration and coordination among national service programs, which in turn supports the efficient use of national service funds in each state.

Multi-state (also known as National Direct) applicants applying for competitive AmeriCorps funding are required to consult with the state service commission in the states they are applying to place members. 

It is strongly encouraged that multi-state applicants (national directs) contact the state service commission(s) as early as possible in order to begin a dialogue related to your proposed placement of AmeriCorps members. This may help inform your application to AmeriCorps based on suggestions the state service commission(s) may offer based on need in the state, existing AmeriCorps program placement, and other factors to consider.
