Dear Colleagues,
The House and Senate Appropriations Committees have begun to take action on spending bills for Fiscal Year 2011, and we want to update you on the progress so far.
As you recall, the budget process kicked off last February, when President Obama released his budget request for Fiscal Year 2011. In that budget, the President proposed $1.416 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service to strengthen our nation's volunteer sector, foster innovation, and mobilize millions of Americans to solve critical problems through national service.
Washington, DC—Mark Gearan, Board Chair of the Corporation for National and Community Service, and U.S. Representative Louise Slaughter will meet with area nonprofit leaders tomorrow to discuss ways that national service is addressing local challenges. The meeting will be held at the University of Rochester at 10 am.

Last Thursday, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill that provides $1.366 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs. This is an increase of $215.9 million over last year’s funding level but $51 million below the President’s request.
Following is a breakdown of the funding:
AmeriCorps Grants: $440,000,000
AmeriCorps VISTA: $111,000,000
AmeriCorps NCCC: $35,593,000
