Marshfield Clinic Health System AmeriCorps to Receive Grant Funding

Thursday, September 10th, 2026 -- 11:00 AM

Serve Wisconsin proudly announces that Wisconsin received $9.2 million in grant funding from AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and community volunteerism.

The grant funds will support 17 AmeriCorps programs across the state, Volunteer Generation Fund grants for supporting local volunteer projects, and the operations of the Wisconsin National and Community Service Board.

The unique model for AmeriCorps means that Wisconsin AmeriCorps programs and Volunteer Generation Fund grantees will leverage an additional $3.3 million from the private sector, foundations, and other sources - further increasing the return on the federal investment for Wisconsin communities.

Marshfield Clinic Health System AmeriCorps – Community Corps -- 50 AmeriCorps Volunteers will be placed in nonprofits and public health organizations across the state to increase their capacity to address local health needs.

Marshfield Clinic Health System AmeriCorps - Recovery Corps -- 20 AmeriCorps Volunteers will be trained as recovery coaches to help people recover from opioid and other substance addictions and provide community education about substance use disorders and recovery resources.
