Smith-Lever Extension Funding — CFDA 10.511
$2.12 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Smith-Lever Extension Funding (CFDA 10.511). The listing carries 501 awards, 58 recipients, and a 57-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of county agents, workshops, or farm visits. Fifty-eight recipients against 57 jurisdictions, with about 8.6 award rows each, is a land-grant formula file: one named university or extension system per jurisdiction, a multi-year amendment book.
Key figures
- CFDA 10.511 shows $2.12 billion in USAspending obligations for Smith-Lever Extension Funding.
- The listing covers 501 awards and 58 recipients.
- Awards are coded to 57 jurisdictions in the USAspending geographic count.
- Totals are obligations, not outlays or agent counts.
Smith-Lever extension obligations at $2.12 billion
USAspending.gov records $2,118,457,994.02 in obligations under CFDA 10.511. Five hundred one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.23 million per award — consistent with multi-year formula allocations to land-grant extension systems rather than county-level project grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical workshop budget or a per-agent cost.
The assistance-listing title is SMITH-LEVER EXTENSION FUNDING. CFDA 10.511 is the identifier. Other NIFA extension or research listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.12 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined extension total this packet does not contain.
58 recipients across 57 jurisdictions
Fifty-eight recipients share 501 awards, or about 8.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.12 billion evenly would assign about $36.5 million per recipient. That density is a land-grant portfolio: several award years per extension system. The packet does not list the 58. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of county offices or agents.
Fifty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count nearly match the recipient headcount. That alignment is the signature of a nationwide formula. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table and will still vary by allocation.
Award count is not an agent or workshop count
Among agriculture listings, 10.511 is a moderate-row file relative to 58 recipients: 501 awards. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique systems. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of extension programs.” Recipients (58) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (501) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report agent FTE, farm visits, or workshop attendance. Citing 501 as counties or agents would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.
Obligations versus extension outlays
The $2.12 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Smith-Lever awards — are not in the packet. A land-grant university can show a large obligation stock while county programming follows a slower calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 10.511 tables omit
The Smith-Lever hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a county-office directory, not an agent roster, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,118,457,994.02. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 501 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 57 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on programming.
