The AmeriCorps address for formal correspondence is 250 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20525. That is the headquarters used for legal mail, service of process, and communications directed at the agency itself. It is not the right address for program questions, grant paperwork, or member business, and mail sent there passes through federal security screening that can add weeks before anything reaches a desk.1USAGov. AmeriCorps
One caution before you send anything. The President’s FY2026 budget proposed eliminating AmeriCorps, and by early 2025 roughly 75 percent of federal staff had been placed on administrative leave. Confirm the office you’re writing to is still staffed before relying on postal delivery.
Headquarters Mailing Address
Use this address for legal correspondence, service of process, and formal communication to the agency:
AmeriCorps
250 E Street SW
Washington, DC 205251USAGov. AmeriCorps
The building houses agency leadership, the general counsel, and other administrative functions. Routine program mail sent here gets caught in security screening and rerouted internally, so a letter that belongs at a state commission or regional office will arrive late if it arrives at all.
FOIA Requests
Freedom of Information Act requests have their own mailing address at the same building:
AmeriCorps
Attn: FOIA Officer, Office of General Counsel
250 E Street SW
Washington, DC 205252AmeriCorps. FOIA and the Privacy Act
Email is the agency’s preferred method: foia@americorps.gov. Fax is 202-606-3467. If you mail or fax the request, include your email address so the agency can respond electronically.2AmeriCorps. FOIA and the Privacy Act
Office of Inspector General Address
The AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General operates independently from the main agency and takes reports of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. Its written-correspondence address is:
Office of Inspector General
Corporation for National and Community Service
250 E St. SW, Suite 4100
Washington, DC 205253AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General. Contact Us
The OIG itself recommends using email, fax, or a private carrier rather than USPS, because postal deliveries to the building are meaningfully delayed by security screening.3AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General. Contact Us The fraud hotline is 800-452-8210, general inquiries go to 202-606-9390, and the fax line is 202-485-0008. An online reporting form is available at americorpsoig.gov/hotline.
Regional Offices
AmeriCorps handles grant and VISTA project inquiries through eight regional offices, but these offices do not publish physical mailing addresses for public correspondence. Contact is by email only:4AmeriCorps. Region Offices
- MidAtlantic — MidAtlantic@americorps.gov
- Midwest — Midwest@americorps.gov
- Mountain — Mountain@americorps.gov
- North Central — NorthCentral@americorps.gov
- Northeast — Northeast@americorps.gov
- South Central — SouthCentral@americorps.gov
- Southeast — Southeast@americorps.gov
- West — West@americorps.gov
Response times may be longer than usual, or nonexistent, depending on staffing at the time you write.
State Service Commissions
Most members, applicants, and community partners never need the D.C. address at all. Program questions, grant applications, and member paperwork run through State Service Commissions, which every state (except South Dakota) currently operates, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam.5AmeriCorps. State Service Commissions
Commission mailing addresses vary and change, so look up the current one in the AmeriCorps state commission directory rather than trusting an address from another source. If you don’t know which commission covers your area, America’s Service Commissions can point you to the right one at info@statecommissions.org.
NCCC Campus Addresses
AmeriCorps NCCC has historically operated regional campuses in Sacramento, California and Aurora, Colorado, with FEMA Corps training at Emmitsburg, Maryland and Anniston, Alabama.6AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps NCCC Reports from early 2025 indicate all four campuses were closed, supervising staff were dismissed, and corps members were sent home. If you are a current or prospective member trying to ship belongings or receive mail at a campus, confirm directly with the program that the campus is operational before sending anything. Campus addresses are for member logistics during active service and are never the right destination for grant applications, FOIA requests, or other official correspondence.
Mail Delays and Better Alternatives
Every address at 250 E Street SW sits behind federal security screening that slows postal delivery significantly. The Office of Inspector General explicitly advises using a private carrier or electronic submission over USPS for anything time-sensitive.3AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General. Contact Us When an email, fax, or online form is available for what you’re doing, that route will almost always reach the agency faster than mail sent to the street address, and given the staffing situation, it may be the only route that reaches anyone at all.
