COLORADO RE: AmeriCorps Supplemental Funds Award between the
Department and the Governor's Commission on
Community Service
Enclosed for Board Approval is the AmeriCorps Supplemental Funds Award between the
Department and the Governor's Commission on Community Service. The original Grant was
presented at the Board's November 5, 2008, Work Session, the first amendment was presented at
the Board's July 14, 2009, Work Session.
The Weld County Youth Conservation Corps applied for a three year formula grant, to begin
October 1, 2009. The Governor's Commission on Community Service requested the original
grant request be modified at a reduced funding level in effort to award more programs with
available funds. In July 2009, the grant was modified and was submitted in eGrants with the total
estimated funding for the first year at $254,512.00 of which $122,849.00 will be provided with
federal funding, the remaining $131,663.00 would be matched by WCYCC; a total of 10 fulltime
members would be served in this scenario.
Due to the decreased award amounts for AmeriCorps programs across the State, the Governor's
Commission on Community Service requested 2009-2010 formula supplemental funding. Their
request for supplemental funding was approved; WCYCC will receive an additional $64,134.00 in
federal funds providing WCYCC with a total of $186,983.00 in federal funds. Based on the
supplemental funding, WCYCC would increase full time members from 10 to 15.
The period for this funding is October 1, 2009 — September 30, 2010.
