Federal awards data shows the Corporation for National and Community Service cut the Onestar National Service Commission's AmeriCorps formula grant from $30.8M to $24.3M, a $6.5M reduction, as recorded on USASpending.gov on Sept. 18 [^1].

The cut, about 21 percent, lands before the program the award funds. The grant under award 25AFGTX001 is a formula award whose stated purpose reads: "this award funds the approved 2025?26 americorps formula program(s), as listed on the approved program and funding summary charts. no member may enroll prior..."

The posted amount moved from $30.8M when first observed to $24.3M across two observed revisions, and outlays to date on the award stand at $141,994.

The award has now been revised twice since the instrument first observed it. Any further change to the $24.3M total would appear on the same USASpending.gov record.
