Contributions to International Organizations for Overseas Assistance — CFDA 19.515

248 awards hold $10.89 billion

Assistance listing 19.515 is titled CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ASSISTANCE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $10,890,636,441.18. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a contribution already booked as an outlay.

248 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $10,890,636,441.18 by 248 produces a mean near $43.9 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical bilateral grant and not a per-country aid allocation. A listing with 15 recipients can still hold $10,890,636,441.18 when each organization carries large actions.

The state count is 0. That is a file statistic for place-of-performance coding, not a claim that no activity occurs anywhere. Overseas assistance listings often store geography outside the domestic state field.

15 recipients and a 0-state field

CFDA 19.515 lists 15 recipients against 248 awards. Recipient count is not unique beneficiary countries. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One international organization can hold many awards, which is why 248 records can sit on 15 recipients.

Zero states does not mean the $10,890,636,441.18 is missing. It means the extract’s state field is empty for this listing. The hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and the 0-state count visible so a blank geography cell is not treated as a data error.

Obligations versus overseas outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $10,890,636,441.18 figure for CFDA 19.515 can include commitments that will disburse on a different calendar than the award date. A separate foreign-assistance dashboard or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 19.515 program page. Do not stretch 248 awards or 15 recipients to cover every overseas-assistance dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 19.515 tables omit

The overseas-assistance hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a country-by-country aid ledger, not a project completion file, and not a United Nations budget. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $10,890,636,441.18.

Place-of-performance on 0 states is a coding field, not a map. Read the program page before treating the blank state count as missing dollars.

A worked reading of the 19.515 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 19.515: $10,890,636,441.18 in obligations, 248 awards, 15 recipients, and 0 states. The mean near $43.91 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 15 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 248 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $10,890,636,441.18.

Nothing in the extract splits CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ASSISTANCE into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 19.515 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 248 awards and 15 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $10,890,636,441.18. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $10,890,636,441.18 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 19.515, covering 248 awards, 15 recipients, and 0 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 248 awards into country projects, or the 0-state field into missing dollars. The 0-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ASSISTANCE hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $10,890,636,441.18, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 248 award rows.
