- What it does
- The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is seeking to partner with localities to use national service as the transformative catalyst to address a pressing problem. Tribal and local leaders (a mayor or other chief executive) will identify a high priority local challenge which AmeriCorps members from all three streams of service—AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps NCCC, and AmeriCorps VISTA—can holistically address in a relatively short period of time (no more than two years). The solution must be place-based and ambitious in order to succeed in the competition. The solution may be a new initiative, or it may use national service to scale up an existing successful effort.

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:
