It depends. As a federal agency, AmeriCorps is not eligible to apply under the NOFO because they do not meet the statutory eligibility requirements for the CCGP. However, CCGP funding may be used for AmeriCorps program participant stipends if the recipient’s agreement with AmeriCorps authorizes the use of grant funds from another Federal agency to pay AmeriCorps stipends. EPA understands that AmeriCorps has unique statutory authority that allows funds from Federal grants from other agencies to be used to pay part of the cost for an AmeriCorps project or program.
