On Friday, April 25, DOGE ordered the AmeriCorps agency to terminate more than $400 million in grant funding. Michigan will lose over 1,200 AmeriCorps members, leaving local communities and neighbors without vital support. These cuts will directly affect the essential services that thousands of Michigan residents rely on. Critical services that communities rely on — such as disaster response work, tutoring and mentoring students, connecting veterans and seniors to services, programs to combat hunger and homelessness, and more—will disappear unless something is done to counter these cuts. Here is the list of AmeriCorps Programs across Michigan.

Statement by MNA's President and CEO on Federal Funding Pause
“This reckless action by the administration could have serious consequences for nonprofit organizations and the people they serve. Pausing critical services like cancer research, housing, and food assistance, Head Start and preschool programs, domestic violence shelters, and so much more could cause real harm and put lives at risk."
