Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Request
On February 13, 2012, President Obama sent his Fiscal Year 2013 budget request to Congress. The budget requests $1.063 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service in FY 2013, an increase of $13.8 million over the current funding level.
The President’s budget request makes a strong investment in national service programs, supporting millions of Americans in building community solutions to our nation’s most pressing challenges. It bolsters funding for key national service infrastructure and delivery systems, which are critical to delivering results in communities. By embracing competition, aligning resources, and measuring performance, the President’s budget will enable CNCS and the network it supports to meet community needs with higher levels of efficiency, accountability and impact.
Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Request
On December 23, 2011, President Obama signed H.R. 2055, the Fiscal Year 2012 Final Consolidated Appropriations Act. This legislation provides $1,048,883,856 for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs, including an across-the-board rescission of .189 percent. This level is about 98 percent of our FY 2011 enacted level.
In a time of fiscal constraint, this budget will allow CNCS to continue its critical work in communities across the country. CNCS and our network of grantees and sponsors engage millions of Americans in sustained service to solve problems, improve the lives of vulnerable citizens, strengthen America’s nonprofit sector, and create economic and educational opportunity for those who serve.
