USAID overseas assistance obligations in Maryland

What the 98.001–Maryland join is

CFDA 98.001 is titled USAID FOREIGN ASSISTANCE FOR PROGRAMS OVERSEAS. Crossed with Maryland place of performance, obligations sum to $1,027,212,284 on 66 awards. The national USAID overseas hub includes other states. Maryland’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,027,212,284 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of missions run from Bethesda or Baltimore.

Sixty-six awards is a contractor-and-implementer pattern: USAID overseas assistance often posts to U.S. headquarters addresses even when work occurs abroad. The join does not name those implementers, list countries, or count projects. Packet facts stop at $1,027,212,284, 66 awards, MD, and 98.001. Place of performance MD is a filing tag, not proof that the assistance was delivered in Maryland.

98.001 is not a domestic HHS catalog

CHIP, Head Start, and Health Center Program dollars sit on other CFDA numbers. Mixing those into $1,027,212,284 would invent a domestic-health total that this cell does not contain. Facts available: Maryland, CFDA 98.001, $1,027,212,284, 66 awards. Country lists, activity codes, and implementing-partner names are not in the facts.

The catalog title names USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, not a ranking of recipient countries. Dividing $1,027,212,284 by 66 yields about $15.56 million per award—an implementer scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 66 is not a count of countries.

Maryland geography on an overseas catalog

MD is the place-of-performance code on the award file. Headquarters in Maryland, a Beltway contractor, or a reporting convention can all produce the tag. Awards coded to Virginia, the District of Columbia, or other states stay outside $1,027,212,284 even when the same implementer has offices there. The code does not convert $1.03 billion into a country map.

Maryland federal spending is the all-program parent. 98.001 is one row on Maryland programs. $1.03 billion is not Maryland’s complete federal footprint. Open Usaid Foreign Assistance For Programs Overseas in Maryland for the filtered table, CFDA 98.001 for 98.001 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,027,212,284.

Reading 66 awards under $1.03 billion

$1,027,212,284 ÷ 66 is about $15.56 million per award. That average is an implementer-award scale, not a typical household transfer abroad. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 66 as a record count, not as 66 finished country programs.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,027,212,284 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 66 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,027,212,284 without changing the join key of 98.001 and MD.

What the USAID–Maryland pair does not prove

A large 98.001 total tagged to Maryland does not measure whether overseas outcomes improved, and it does not equal funds spent in Maryland communities. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,027,212,284 on 66 awards for USAID overseas assistance tagged to Maryland.

Keep both sides of the join: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas and Maryland, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,027,212,284 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 66 as a country census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a foreign-policy story.

Using the USAID–Maryland overlay

The overlay target is the Maryland × CFDA 98.001 table. Open Usaid Foreign Assistance For Programs Overseas in Maryland when you want the same $1,027,212,284 / 66-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 98.001 drops the Maryland filter. Maryland federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Maryland programs lists other catalogs beside 98.001. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Maryland won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 98.001 plus MD. Obligations of $1,027,212,284 are not outlays.

Questions

How much USAID overseas assistance is tagged to Maryland?

USAspending records $1,027,212,284 in CFDA 98.001 obligations with Maryland place of performance on 66 awards. That is the pair total, not an outlay and not a list of recipient countries. Keep Usaid Foreign Assistance For Programs Overseas and Maryland together when citing $1,027,212,284.

Does place of performance Maryland mean the work happened in Maryland?

Not necessarily. USAID overseas awards often carry a U.S. headquarters tag. $1,027,212,284 is the obligation sum on records tagged MD and 98.001. Country of implementation is not in the packet facts. 66 is a record count, not a person or facility census.

Is this Maryland’s total federal spending?

No. $1,027,212,284 is only the 98.001 × Maryland cell. Housing, transit, and other catalogs appear on separate Maryland program pages. Nationwide 98.001 is not limited to Maryland. Obligations of $1,027,212,284 are not outlays.

Does 66 awards mean 66 countries?

66 is a USAspending award-record count, not a country census. The implied mean is about $15.56 million per award. Unique recipients and country lists are unpublished. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 98.001 × MD pair.
