For single-state
Kentucky applicants.
This is a revised process for AmeriCorps State and National (ASN) Direct Applicants and Grantees to request an individual match waiver. The intent of this process is simply to have your organization identify and document the specific circumstances your organization faced or is facing in meeting its match requirement at any point in your organization’s grant.
AmeriCorps State subgrantees should submit their waiver requests to their State Service Commission (Serve Kentucky) for review and approval. If the Commission approves the subgrantee(s) waiver request for submission, the Commission will submit the request(s) on behalf of the subgrantee(s).
Per 45 CFR §2521.70, all four criteria below must be met for ASN grants. While the agency has included some examples of sufficient justifications for each of them, individual grantees' circumstances vary and all justifications will be seriously considered.
AmeriCorps' Office of Grant Administration (OGA) will review and evaluate all justifications provided on this form for sufficiency with the respective regulatory provisions using a prudent person standard. OGA will respond within 30 calendar days of receiving the initial request with a decision or request for additional information.
