Become a Nonprofit Host Organization

As part of our commitment to strengthening nonprofit sustainability, Spur Impact launched the AmeriCorps Marketing Capacity Program to help nonprofits expand their visibility, storytelling, and fundraising capacity. Through this program, nonprofits receive affordable, hands-on marketing and communications support designed to build long-term organizational growth and community engagement.

AmeriCorps service strengthens communities while developing future leaders. Through partnerships between Spur Impact, nonprofit host organizations, and AmeriCorps members, this program expands the capacity of nonprofits while creating meaningful opportunities for service and leadership development.

Tier 1: Full AmeriCorps Placement

Nonprofits host an AmeriCorps member who provides ongoing support integrated into daily operations.

This model is best for nonprofits that:

  • Need consistent support over time

  • Are ready to supervise and engage a member

  • Want to build internal systems and capacity

Members may support:

  • Communications and social media

  • Volunteer engagement

  • Event promotion

  • Program storytelling

  • Community outreach

An AmeriCorps member can provide up to 28 hours a week to the host organization to provide marketing support for nonprofit programs and operations. AmeriCorp members may shift due to national trainings, documentation, service initiatives. In the event of state or local emergencies, AmeriCorps members may be called upon to assist with statewide service efforts.

All program coordination and communication is managed through Spur Impact program administration.
