- What it does
- AmeriCorps is seeking to expand the capacity (knowledge, skills, and resources) of State Service Commissions and Alternative Administrative Entities in priority performance areas through the Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Commission Investment Funds. These funds support AmeriCorps’ overall approach to help commissions implement their duties as required by the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended. With this grant program, AmeriCorps is particularly interested in activities that will forge new collaborations and partnerships or develop new skills and knowledge to produce significant and demonstrable improvements within the one-year grant period. The Commission Investment Funds may be used to support: commission staffing and staff development in priority performance areas; training events; and collaborative activities.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
