NC Campus Compact, a national lead agency selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service to promote the 2010 MLK Day of Service, is now accepting applications from out-of-network institutions of higher education. Last year NC Campus Compact awarded $25,000 in out-of-network funds to 28 institutions who mobilized 5800 volunteers on the 2009 MLK Day of Service.

Grants are available in increments of $1,000 and $2,500. Institutions in the following states are not eligible to apply for an out-of-network grant because the Campus Compact state office applied for an in-network grant: Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Applications are accepted from institutions in any state not mentioned above. We strongly encourage applications on behalf of a group/coalition of institutions, but please note that only one institution can serve as the subgrantee.

Our state director has brought enthusiasm and direction to Missouri Campus Compact and her leadership has given me renewed confidence that we are moving in the right direction. I am particularly excited about the new AmeriCorps*VISTA project and the opportunity to work closely with the other institutions to create a better Missouri."
