Summary
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is an independent federal agency that administers the programs authorized by two statutes: the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA; P.L. 101-610), as amended, and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973
(DVSA; P.L. 93-113), as amended. NCSA and DVSA programs were
substantially amended and
most recently reauthorized by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (P.L. 111-13). The report
compares
describes programs authorized by these laws and compares CNCS funding for
FY2012, FY2013, FY2014, and FY2015.
FY2013, FY2014, FY2015, and FY2016.
The NCSA is designed to meet unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety
needs and to renew an ethic of civic responsibility by encouraging citizens to participate in
national service programs. The major programs authorized by NCSA include AmeriCorps State
and National Grants and the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). The NCSA also
authorizes the National Service Trust, which funds educational awards for community service
participants.
A central purpose of the DVSA, which authorizes the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA)
program and the National Senior Volunteer Corps, is to foster and expand voluntary service in
communities while helping the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, the elderly, and the poor. The
DVSA also authorizes the National Senior Volunteer Corps, which includes three programs for
senior citizens: the Foster Grandparent Program, the Senior Companion Program, and the Retired
and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
Appropriations for the DVSA and the NCSA programs are made annually through the
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act (Labor-HHS-ED). CNCS programs are funded through the end of
FY2015
under an omnibusFY2016 under a consolidated appropriations law (
P.L. 114-113). FY2016P.L. 113-235), enacted just prior to the end of the 113th
Congress. FY2015 funding for CNCS programs totals $1.

See Table A-1 for NCSA funding information.
AmeriCorps State and National Grants (Title I-C)4
Program Focus: Created in 1993, programs under AmeriCorps State and National Grants identify
and address critical community needs, including tutoring and mentoring disadvantaged youth,
managing or operating after-school programs, helping communities respond to disasters,
improving health services, building affordable housing, and cleaning parks and streams. Grants
include formula grants to states and territories, and competitive grants to states, territories, Indian
tribes, and national non-profit organizations.
Volunteer Eligibility: Individuals aged 17 and older.
Amount of Volunteer Service: Full-time or part-time for a 9- to 12-month period.
Volunteer Benefits: Some full-time AmeriCorps members receive a living allowance, health

65 Participants in AmeriCorps may receive
educational awards for their service through the National Service Trust (see the following section
of this report). AmeriCorps members can also obtain loan forbearance (i.e., postponement) in the
repayment of their qualified student loans while participating in these programs and have the
interest on their accrued loans paid from the trust once they earn an educational award.
Administrative Entity: Each state and territory governor appoints members of a service
commission to manage, monitor, and administer annual grant applications for the state. CNCS
reviews the state commission formula package and makes the awards. For multi-state or national
awards, grantees are selected competitively by the CNCS headquarters office.
National Service Trust Education Awards (Title I-D)
The National Service Trust, a special account in the U.S. Treasury, provides educational awards
for participants in AmeriCorps Grants, NCCC, and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). An

full-time service.

service position. AmeriCorps members serving in programs funded in
FY2015FY2016 will receive an
education award of up to $5,

current Pell Grant maximum
in the year the positions were approved. Pro-rated awards are also
made for other terms of service, such as half-time (see Table 1). AmeriCorps members aged 55 or
older at the beginning of a term of service may transfer the education award to a child,
