On January 22, the Senate passed the Fiscal Year 2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act that includes FY04 funding for LSC. Congress approved level funding for LSC, carrying over the Corporation's budget total from FY03. However, there was an across-the-board budget cut for all federal appropriations, meaning that LSC's final FY04 budget figure comes in at $335.4 million - down slightly from the final figure of $336.6 million in FY03, when the across-the-board cut was not as steep. The LSC budget breaks down as follows: basic field grants ($317,471,000), Technology Initiative Grant program ($2,977,000), management & administration ($13,300,000), Office of the Inspector General ($2,600,000), and U.S. Census funding readjustments to be divided among the 10 states most harmed by census poverty population shifts ($2.5 million).
