CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Notice of Availability of Funds for AmeriCorps State Formula 
Program Grants in North Dakota and South Dakota and Notice of Technical 
Assistance Calls for Potential Applicants

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds for new and renewal grants; 
notice of availability of 2000 application guidelines; notice of 
technical assistance calls.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(Corporation) announces the availability of approximately $500,000 to 
support new and continuing national service programs in North Dakota 
and approximately $500,000 to support new and continuing national 
service programs in South Dakota. (CFDA #94.004). The Corporation has 
scheduled two technical assistance calls for potential applicants.

DATES: To be considered, the Corporation must receive applications by 
3:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, Monday, May 15, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Applications must be submitted to the Corporation for 
National Service, 1201 New York Avenue NW, Box SND, Washington, D.C. 
20525. The Corporation will not accept applications that are submitted 
via facsimile or by e-mail transmission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: For further information, to obtain a copy of 
the application guidelines, or to register for one of the technical 
assistance calls, please contact Jamia McLean, Corporation for National 
Service, 1201 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20525, phone (202) 
606-5000, ext. 292, TDD (202) 565-2799.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These funds are authorized under the 
National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended, and represent 
the statute's population-based provision of program assistance formula 
funds that, in most cases, flow through approved state commissions on 
national and community service. Because neither North Dakota nor South 
Dakota currently maintains an approved state commission or alternative 
administrative entity, eligible entities may apply directly to the 
Corporation for formula funds. Local government agencies, institutions 
of higher education, public or private nonprofit organizations, and 
Indian Tribes in North Dakota and South Dakota are eligible entities. 
An organization described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(4), that engages in lobbying activities 
is not eligible for these funds.
    Requirements relating to this assistance are published at 45 CFR 
Parts 2510 et seq. and are further described in the application 
guidelines. The Corporation will also provide Principles for High 
Quality National Service Programs, which includes program examples, 
upon request.
    Organizations interested in applying for these program funds may 
participate in one of two conference calls to be held on April 3, 2000 
and April 10, 2000, respectively, during which Corporation staff will 
provide technical assistance to potential applicants. The calls will 
begin at 2:00 p.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m. (E.D.T.). Upon 
registration for one of the calls, you will be provided with the 
applicable 800 number needed for participation.
    The provision of these grants is subject to the availability of 
appropriated funds.

    Dated: March 30, 2000.
Peter Heinaru,
Director, AmeriCorps*State/National.
