National and Community Service Pay for Results Program
This Act introduces a new funding model for national and community service programs, where organizations receive federal funds only upon achieving specific, pre-defined outcomes. The goal is to encourage more effective programs that deliver tangible social benefits and government savings. Citizens may benefit from new volunteer opportunities and social services that are more focused on measurable results.
Key points
Funding for national and community service programs will be tied to achieving specific, measurable outcomes, aiming for greater effectiveness.
Eligible entities, including socially-conscious B Corps and community-based organizations, can apply for funds if they demonstrate potential for government savings and social benefits.
Program participants will remain eligible for educational awards, and projects will undergo independent evaluation to verify achieved results.
