The Corps Network (  http://www.corpsnetwork.org/ ), through the

( http://www.nationalservice.org/  ), will make funding available
to organizations that undertake service  projects for Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day ( http://www.mlkday.gov ) on  January 19,

The network will fund organizations that plan  and implement 
service projects that mobilize a diverse group of  volunteers 
to address conditions of poverty in their community. The  net-
work will disseminate a total of $80,000 to approximately  
twenty-five sub-grantees. In accordance with CNCS requirements, 
at  least 30 percent of these funds will be available to organi-
zations  outside of the network.

Award amounts will range from $1,000 to  $10,000 each. Preference
is given to organizations mobilizing the  greatest numbers of
volunteers. Applicants must enlist at least two  hundred volun-
teers for every $1,000 requested.
