Dear EDs and LSC Colleagues,
I’m delighted to tell you that the FY 2023 omnibus bill filed early this morning includes $560 million for LSC, a 14.5% increase over last year.
The bill is expected to pass both the Senate and the House this week before being signed into law by the President. The current continuing resolution (CR) funding the government expires midnight on Friday 12/23 so the legislation must pass quickly to avoid a government shutdown. After the FY23 omnibus legislation is signed into law, we will distribute revised grantee allocations so that you know what you will have to work with.
This appropriations bill is the product of lengthy negotiations; this summer the House Appropriations Committee included $675 million for LSC, and the Senate Democrats released an appropriations bill that included $539 million for LSC.
The table below shows FY 2023 omnibus funding levels as compared to LSC’s request, the White House request and the enacted FY 2022 appropriation.
