ASC Launches National AmeriCorps Member Emergency Fund
In April, more than 30,000 AmeriCorps members' service terms were abruptly terminated, leaving them without a Living Allowance and other benefits such as healthcare and childcare coverage. Therefore, many of them are now in need of financial assistance to address housing, food, transportation, and/or health emergencies.
In response, America's Service Commissions (ASC) has launched a National Emergency Fund for AmeriCorps members impacted by federal grant terminations. Affected members may apply for a one-time payment of $500 by clicking the link below. Also, individuals interested in contributing to the fund may donate here.
