Adoption Assistance in Minnesota

MN and CFDA 93.659 as a pair

Read $468,883,115 as the CFDA 93.659 × Minnesota obligation cell. Adoption Assistance is the program side; Minnesota is the geography side. The pair is not Foster Care Title IV-E under CFDA 93.658 and not a named county agency or family roster. FEC donations do not fund USAspending awards.

8 awards back the total. That count is not 8 adoptions, families, or named agencies. Packet facts list no contractors and no award recipients. Inventing names would break the contract.

Adoption Assistance in Minnesota lives at /states/mn/programs/93.659/. CFDA 93.659 lives at /programs/93.659/. Minnesota federal spending lives at /states/mn/. Minnesota programs lives at /states/mn/programs/. All spending ties lives at /ties/.

Adoption assistance as Title IV-E catalog text

The catalog string is ADOPTION ASSISTANCE. Display copy uses Adoption Assistance. Neither string names a vendor. CFDA 93.659 is the only program key in this packet. $468,883,115 attaches to that key and to Minnesota, not to a homemade bundle of related programs.

Readers looking for adjacent catalogs should open those CFDA pages instead of adding them here. Minnesota Foster Care Title IV-E (93.658) is a different join. The join does not convert $468,883,115 into adoptions, families, or named agencies. Keep Adoption Assistance labeled as CFDA 93.659.

Readers comparing Minnesota to other states should open those other state-program pages rather than inferring a rank from $468,883,115. This file does not publish a national share or a year-over-year change because those figures are not in the packet.

Minnesota geography on CFDA 93.659

Minnesota (MN) is the place-of-performance key, not a claim that every dollar was spent in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, or Rochester. Those cities are not broken out. Headquarters can sit in another state while the tag still reads MN.

Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota are adjacent geographies, not slices of this cell. A 93.659 award tagged to a neighbor is a different join. Keep $468,883,115 attached to Minnesota only.

Assistance awards coded to CFDA 93.659 can include grants, cooperative agreements, or other USAspending award types. The packet does not break $468,883,115 out by award type, so this copy does not either.

Eight awards, not eight named agencies

USAspending counted 8 awards on this pair. That is a row count in the assistance table, not a census of adoptions, families, or named agencies. Large means (about $58,610,389.38) often appear when a few statewide actions carry most of the dollars. The packet does not say whether that happened here.

A later ingest can restate both $468,883,115 and the 8-award count without changing the join keys CFDA 93.659 and MN. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

If a dashboard elsewhere shows a different total for Adoption Assistance in Minnesota, check whether that dashboard uses outlays, a different year, or a recipient-location field instead of place of performance. This cell uses the packet’s obligation sum of $468,883,115 on 8 awards.
