These funds support CNCS?s overall approach to help commissions implement their duties as required by the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended. With this grant program, CNCS is particularly interested in activities that will forge new collaborations and partnerships or develop new skills and knowledge to produce significant and demonstrable improvements within the one-year grant period.
