The Corporation may make matching grants to help States establish or operate State Commissions, support disaster response, and provide challenge grants to national-service programs. Special matching rules apply to hardship or new commissions, and challenge grants match private cash subject to limits.
(a) Support for State* Commissions. (1) Grants authorized. From the specified appropriations, the Corporation* may give a State $250,000 to $1,000,000 to establish or operate the State Commission* required by section 12638. (2) Matching requirement. The State must agree to provide at least $1 from non-Federal sources for every $1 from the Corporation. (3) Alternative. For a State showing hardship or a new Commission, the Chief Executive Officer may allow: (A) no match for the first $100,000; (B) at least $1 for every $2 of Corporation funds over $100,000 through $250,000; and (C) at least $1 for every $1 over $250,000. (b) Disaster service. The Corporation may involve assisted programs in disaster relief, including through the cited volunteer-service and Stafford Act authorities, and support nonprofit organizations and public agencies responding to disaster-affected communities. (c) Challenge grants. (1) The Corporation may make challenge grants to programs supported under the national-service laws. (2) It must create criteria making grants broadly available to high-quality programs run by entities experienced in projects benefiting participants and communities. (3) During an initial 3-year grant, the Corporation may provide no more than $1 for each $1 in private cash raised above required matching amounts. After that period, it may provide no more than $1 for each $2 raised. It may count local or State funds instead of private cash when that is equitable because local private funds are unavailable, and it must set a ceiling on assistance.
From amounts appropriated for a fiscal year pursuant to the authorization of appropriation in section 12681(a)(5) of this title, the Corporation* may make a grant in an amount between $250,000 and $1,000,000 to a State to assist the State to establish or operate the State Commission* on National and Community Service required to be established by the State under section 12638 of this title.
In making a grant to a State under this subsection, the Corporation shall require the State to agree to provide matching funds from non-Federal sources of not less than $1 for every $1 provided by the Corporation through the grant.
Notwithstanding paragraph (2), the Chief Executive Officer may permit a State that demonstrates hardship or a new State Commission to meet alternative matching requirements for such a grant as follows:
For the first $100,000 of grant funds provided by the Corporation, the State involved shall not be required to provide matching funds.
For grant amounts of more than $100,000 and not more than $250,000 provided by the Corporation, the State shall agree to provide matching funds from non-Federal sources of not less than $1 for every $2 provided by the Corporation, in excess of $100,000.
For grant amounts of more than $250,000 provided by the Corporation, the State shall agree to provide matching funds from non-Federal sources of not less than $1 for every $1 provided by the Corporation, in excess of $250,000.
The Corporation may undertake activities, including activities carried out through part A of title I of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4951 et seq.), to involve programs that receive assistance under the national service laws* in disaster relief efforts, and to support, including through mission assignments under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), nonprofit organizations and public agencies responding to the needs of communities experiencing disasters.
The Corporation may make challenge grants under this subsection to programs supported under the national service laws.
The Corporation shall develop criteria for the selection of recipients of challenge grants under this subsection, so as to make the grants widely available to a variety of programs that—
are high-quality national service programs; and
are carried out by entities with demonstrated experience in establishing and implementing projects that provide benefits to participants and communities.
A challenge grant under this subsection may provide, for an initial 3-year grant period, not more than $1 of assistance under this subsection for each $1 in cash raised from private sources by the program supported under the national service laws in excess of amounts required to be provided by the program to satisfy matching funds requirements. After an initial 3-year grant period, a grant under this subsection may provide not more than $1 of assistance under this subsection for each $2 in cash raised from private sources by the program in excess of amounts required to be provided by the program to satisfy matching funds requirements. The Corporation may permit the use of local or State funds under this paragraph in lieu of cash raised from private sources if the Corporation determines that such use would be equitable due to a lack of available private funds at the local level. The Corporation shall establish a ceiling on the amount of assistance that may be provided to a national service program under this subsection.
