Foster Care Title IV-E federal obligations in FY2025

Foster Care Title IV-E overlapping FY2025 — CFDA 93.658

The pair is Foster Care Title Iv-E × FY2025. $2,466,573,399.43 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 93.658 and fiscal year 2025 on the yearlyTrend table. The FY2025 obligation $2,466,573,399.43 is 8.2% of the CFDA program total of $30,186,483,529. This page does not invent the other fiscal-year rows that sit outside FY2025 on Foster Care Title IV-E. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that FY2025 caused Foster Care Title IV-E activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a state ranking or a named IV-E provider list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is FOSTER CARE TITLE IV-E. The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2025. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $2,466,573,399.43 as obligations on the Foster Care Title IV-E–FY2025 pair. Thirty-four FY2025 awards is not 34 children. FY2026 for the same CFDA is a separate yearlyTrend cell and must not be folded into this page.

CFDA 93.658 as the Foster Care Title IV-E side

CFDA 93.658 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Foster Care Title Iv-E. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $30,186,483,529 across 378 awards. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the FY2025 cell unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $30,186,483,529 as cash Treasury already sent. State agency names, child counts, and placement types are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 93.658 at /programs/93.658/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other fiscal years if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 93.658 in FY2025 only.

FY2025 as the Title IV-E yearlyTrend cell

Federal fiscal year 2025 is the time key on this yearlyTrend row. The year hub FY2025 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2025/ rolls up every program that year in the index, not only Foster Care Title IV-E. Reading $2,466,573,399.43 as all FY2025 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $2,466,573,399.43. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts. Donations do not fund Foster Care Title IV-E obligations in FY2025.

34 FY2025 awards as a CFDA table, not a child census

The extract lists 34 awards on the Foster Care Title IV-E × FY2025 table. That is an award-record count for this yearlyTrend cell, not a census of children in foster care. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $2,466,573,399.43 by 34 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable. The program-wide award count is 378, a different denominator.

Caseload rankings this IV-E–FY2025 join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,466,573,399.43 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Foster Care Title IV-E in FY2025 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Foster Care Title IV-E expanded in FY2025 because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $2,466,573,399.43 labeled as Foster Care Title Iv-E obligations in fiscal year 2025.
