Voices for National Service, in partnership with the Save Service in America campaign, is sending a letter to President Obama urging the White House to protect the federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). We invite you to join this effort by adding your organization to this letter.

 

In September, the House of Representatives introduced new legislation that would cut funding for national service programs by 75% and shut down the Corporation for National and Community Service. Nearly 1,000 nonprofit leaders quickly responded, signing onto a Save Service letter urging congressional leaders to provide CNCS with $1.09 billion in fiscal year 2012, as recommended by the U.S. Senate. Click here for a copy of the Save Service letter sent to Representative Denny Rehberg, Chairman of the House Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee.

 

Over the next few weeks, the House and Senate will be working to reconcile the differences between their FY12 Labor-HHS Appropriations bills and the differences are stark. For CNCS, the gap between the House recommendation for CNCS and the Senate's bill is $862 million. Finding agreement may not be quick or easy, and that is why we must call on President Obama to keep CNCS funding high on his priority list. Programs that provide critical services to the most vulnerable, offer job training and pathways to work, and spur economic recovery deserve continued federal support.
