Congress Approves FY20 Funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service

In early December, Congress and the White House reached a deal on the FY20 budget. The spending package, signed by President Trump on December 20th, includes $1.1 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service, an increase of $20 million over the last year. The final spending agreement increases the federal investment across the national service programs – AmeriCorps State and National, NCCC, VISTA, Senior Corps and the Volunteer Generation Fund. There is funding included to increase the stipends for Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions to $3.00/hour and an additional $1 million for the September 11^th Day of Service and Remembrance to help fund events on the 20^th anniversary of the attacks.  To view the Voices for National Service statement on the final FY20 spending levels, click here.
