Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers — CFDA 84.287

$3.41 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers (CFDA 84.287). The listing carries 152 awards, 75 recipients, and a 52-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of after-school sites or students. A formula-style education file at this size posts a few hundred large awards through a few dozen named state and designated recipients.

Key figures

  • CFDA 84.287 shows $3.41 billion in USAspending obligations for Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers.
  • The listing covers 152 awards and 75 recipients — about $22.5 million per award.
  • Awards are coded to 52 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or student counts.

After-school program obligations at $3.41 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,412,950,789.92 in obligations under CFDA 84.287. One hundred fifty-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $22.5 million per award — far larger than a typical local after-school grant and consistent with statewide formula awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical community-learning-center budget.

The assistance-listing title is TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERS. CFDA 84.287 is the identifier. Other education listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.41 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined after-school total this packet does not contain.

75 recipients across 52 states

Seventy-five recipients share 152 awards, or about 2.0 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.41 billion evenly would assign about $45.5 million per recipient. That pattern matches a formula portfolio in which a state education agency holds a small number of large award years. The packet does not list the 75. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of local centers or students.

Fifty-two states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by state allocation rules that are not in this packet. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a center count

Among education listings, 84.287 is a sparse, high-dollar file: 152 rows against 75 recipients. Annual formula awards can sit as a few large records even while many local centers operate underneath. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of community learning centers.” Recipients (75) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (152) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report student enrollment, hours of programming, or local-site counts. Citing 152 as centers or students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus education outlays

The $3.41 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers awards — are not in the packet. A state can show a large obligation stock while local centers draw on a school-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 84.287 tables omit

The Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a site directory, not a student census, and not a ranking of after-school quality. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,412,950,789.92. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 152 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A statewide recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while centers sit in many counties. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares.

Where the 84.287 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 84.287 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other education listings. For 84.287 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 84.287’s 152 awards spread $3,412,950,789.92 across 75 recipients and 52 states.

CFDA 84.287 is indexed at $3,412,950,789.92 in obligations, 152 awards, 75 recipients, and 52 states on USAspending.gov. Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.41 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 84.287, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,412,950,789.92 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.
