AG Jennings and a coalition of her colleagues have prevailed in preserving funding for AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has agreed to release over $184 million in funding that AmeriCorps plans to award to service programs in Delaware and across the country. OMB’s attempted cuts threatened the survival of those programs—including more than $750,000 in funds for AmeriCorps programs in Delaware.

“The president’s inexplicable vendetta against kids and literacy ends exactly as it started: a bizarre, unjustifiable, and illegal spectacle. Now these funds can return to the classrooms and communities where they belong.” – AG Jennings
