Description

The 2000 Application Guidelines for AmeriCorps National, State, and Indian Tribes and U.S. Territories provide the background, requirements and instructions that potential applicants need to complete an application to the Corporation for funds to operate AmeriCorps programs.

The Corporation seeks public comment on the forms, the instructions for the forms, and the instructions for the narrative portion of these application guidelines. The application forms and instructions are being revised to reflect the evaluation criteria approved by the Corporation board last year. In some instances this means that questions appear under different categories than previously. In an effort to streamline and consolidate this application package, there is one title page all AmeriCorps National, State, and Indian Tribes and U.S. Territories can use. The budget form and title page have been revised so that information is asked for one place and does not need to be copied to some other part of the form as in the past. Form instructions are clearer and are written in plain language.
