FY25 National Direct Consultation Single Form |
Instructions
America's Service Commissions is pleased to support the national service field by providing one form for multi-state applicants applying for an AmeriCorps grant to initiate their consultation with participating state service commissions. This consultation form can be used for the FY 2025 AmeriCorps State and National Grant competitive grant.
Why Consultation?
As part of the Serve America Act, 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.

Consultation is a requirement outlined in the FY25 Notice of Funding Opportunity for new and recompete applicants.
State service commissions use the information provided through the Consultation process to provide input to the AmeriCorps Agency on funding decisions that may impact their state, as well as provide feedback/recommendations on National Direct applicants. AmeriCorps asks each commission to provide their input on each applicant proposing to place members in the state by selecting “support,” “neutral,” or “do not support,” along with any comments associated with the opinion submitted.
