Update on LSC's FY 2007 Appropriation

On February 15, 2007, President Bush signed into law HJ Res 20, an appropriations continuing resolution containing $348.5 million for LSC in FY 2007.

Of the total amount:

• $330,760,500 will go to basic field programs;
• $2,104,500 will go to the Technology Initiative Grant program;
• $12,743,000 will go to Management and Administration; and
• $2,970,000 will go the Office of Inspector General.

LSC has issued a memo to all LSC-funded programs explaining how the new grants will be divided. New grant awards will be distributed on March 1, 2007.

LSC's FY 2007 appropriation is LSC's first budget increase since FY 2003, and LSC's largest appropriation since FY 1995, when LSC received $400 million.
