[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: RARE AmeriCorps Program - Call for Community Applications!

Mon Feb 19 12:06:19 PST 2018

Hi Luke,

I’ve worked with consultant Lori Bumgardner on several projects with different organizations in Lane County and her skill set is very broad. I highly recommend contacting her to see if she is a good fit for what you need. Her email address is lori at goddessofgrants.com<mailto:lori at goddessofgrants.com>.

Hello, all. I am working on a grant application for a project to build on a community engagement/assessment that we did a couple years ago that identified some areas that our local community would like to see improved upon. I'd like to move that into the next phase, and want to have some consulting work done on feasibility studies that give us a better sense of priority and focus. Anyone have recommendations?

Hello All,

Below is a call for Community Applications from the RARE Americorps Program. Some of our Main Street organizations have been fortunate to have a RARE participant help them with their downtown revitalization efforts so if it’s something you are considering, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind talking to you about their experience.

Best,

Katie

RARE members assist in the development and implementation of projects focused on increasing the vitality of the communities and organizations we serve. Our members live in and serve communities for 11 months. The RARE AmeriCorps Program is now in its 24th Year and has placed more than 475 individuals and served every Oregon county.

Does My Organization Qualify For The RARE AmeriCorps Program?
The RARE AmeriCorps Program works with organizations that have identified specific needs in rural areas. Eligible organizations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mJKjZcfUp1UH-iB0647x5RuIIB3YBSlu1U235j53xeG3MJUaXOKqs8lyONG-NbQXTTVQDLgZoXNHZbBy1rhRjuYVDmr5WF3UBXiFt-g6_RD8pKgL66DubP2BkSL84UmSaDOOt4ws4UB3BjOiSb8BF32Zvq7RO5-akTPTM6pjF6WkSTUcw10TDGdIYROwZfWhtuWUXpCuq1Am-Y-DtB8IwJM-V8iVrEBrtbQ1tfF5tPqXeXevComb7Oic6enApeT9FukGOVth4CY4jqaWDxiw3em9PjUEaHqVwVnpilcMUdLmeDIOj9yAUxeu6OztyWGdDOFjUIqKodR3Vom_V4r2r5aAJ5ZmzB8PCN9zzKi_8nFpjAiv5iOK9uoplO3rv_x_wnnOEBwzbufiqU92fdVSThZOytMZlKTHJgDE6bh9dse-HJFF1MpMUJYcl4QaV8eDV9oAP86vO3QihHQSSqZ8Ik3iJShwg1UF&c=CO5C8vX5QPPzmM2sbuj6Uf8gfcS7Wm687Colohj22h6edI7uh4v7bw==&ch=4PmXJwgzd1jMCnWTnmIQ5GbRtwiLn0jruZnIhnuJ3k4R3t1-_9BtrQ==> include public agencies (including city, county, and regional governments); special districts (such as soil and water conservation districts, park and transportation districts); and non-profit organizations. RARE projects typically fall into the following categories: land use planning, downtown development, community and economic development, regional tourism, renewable energy, food systems planning, and natural resources planning.

How Can My Organization Participate?
To host a RARE member, each participating community or agency must provide a $23,500 match towards the placement, training, and support for the full-time RARE member. RARE AmeriCorps Program staff will administer the member's monthly stipend, medical insurance, and post-service educational award. To apply, communities must submit a Community Application<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mJKjZcfUp1UH-iB0647x5RuIIB3YBSlu1U235j53xeG3MJUaXOKqs8lyONG-NbQXi1lM5t9Te5Klr20R21s9Q1c8t31SCTH7W56k-3qu3-injTOGgTIQZ7IklyqC28wtOXwfPiFs6Ug6KWx3jJ7NTVV2iPSYAR5j18GZ-9PODSqElhz95fRUMJ1ZPr1RzMbUR_yVCkpYDQ2xo--UyeqUI85-majcjYX9f9J3JDG-Pwc_RUATBb9BeXU13EM7JF-dmFPTcOhHva9QlDGOUMzOY-yzREAVHqs7jEAsstAWVz9QPNlDmxfBQHuWuURsW0A1HnfxLK5M7Ad6JSK1EhKeoKxNUYIl5iyLuaevMM7Jabh52K8bAaqRX_CTmPWchgOC3vZdjcXVbbQR45udDdlfGWiCn3rMzbOS4ZbKrH2xgP-cB60F85j5tpI3jSouhNGv&c=CO5C8vX5QPPzmM2sbuj6Uf8gfcS7Wm687Colohj22h6edI7uh4v7bw==&ch=4PmXJwgzd1jMCnWTnmIQ5GbRtwiLn0jruZnIhnuJ3k4R3t1-_9BtrQ==> by 5:00 PM on April 13th.
