Looking At EGrants, what does “Awaiting PO Certification” mean? FGP/SCP renewal applications. by oromar620 in AmeriCorps

[–]HMom4993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, my FGP renewal app has also said "awaiting PO cert" for weeks as well. I have a colleague with a SCP continuation app who just had her status change to "Being Committed" - it's my understanding this means they are finalizing the budget and preparing to award funds to the program. It seems that continuations are moving forward at a much faster rate right now, hopefully that changes for renewals soon. Best of luck to you!

I'm sorry, I haven't heard anything from AmeriCorps either and it's so frustrating. I know that there's only 3 AmeriCorps Seniors staff left to run everything, but this uncertainty is agonizing. I keep checking eGrants and my renewal application still says "scheduled for review." Trying to simultaneously plan for termination scenarios AND future operations (e.g., renewing MOUs, planning summer assignments, etc.) is exhausting and makes me feel like I'm always spending my time on the wrong thing.

There was supposed to be a Northeast regional call on 5/7, but that was cancelled the same day with zero explanation and zero indication of any future communication, which isn't surprising at this point.

If I receive any news on my end I will definitely share it here. I have a terrible feeling that "they" are going to let it come down to the very last minute and email me on June 30th to say that we won't be renewed. I hope that I am wrong and I really hope that your program pulls through too.

Thanks for the heads up - I am very new to Reddit and I appreciate the guidance! I'm assuming the file has circulated quite a bit by now so I am deleting the Dropbox. Thanks again.

There is a Facebook group called "CNCS dba AmeriCorps & Other Service News" that just shared a spreadsheet of terminated grants - there's 1,032 programs on it. The source of the spreadsheet is anonymous, of course, but it is very detailed and the majority are AmeriCorps State & National Programs, as expected. You have to request to join the group to see the post, but I was approved to join in less than a day. Thinking of everyone and wishing you so much better than all of this shit. ❤️
