Contracting Documents
About Contracting with Us
Once an AmeriCorps grant has been awarded by the Corporation for National & Community Service, the program must enter into a contract with California Volunteers before it can begin providing the awarded services or incur costs. Contracting is handled through the California Volunteers AmeriCorps Community via our Salesforce platform. Forms and further instructions can be found below. Please allow up to 30 days for the contracting process.
Please contact Funding@cv.ca.gov or your Program Officer if you have questions.

AmeriCorps grantees must follow the instructions to complete and submit items in Program Readiness and the Contract Checklist in the California Volunteers AmeriCorps Community in Salesforce. These can be worked on simultaneously and are submitted independently. CV will not proceed with the review of either Program Readiness or the Contract Checklist until it has been submitted. Please allow up to 30 days from the time that both have been submitted for the contract to be drafted and sent for signature.
