	Established in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service through its core programs -- Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and the Social Innovation Fund -- and leads President Obama&rsquo;s national call to service initiative, United We Serve.
	
	As the nation&rsquo;s largest grantmaker for service and volunteering, CNCS plays a critical role in strengthening America&rsquo;s nonprofit sector and addressing our nation&rsquo;s challenges through service.
	
	CNCS harnesses America&rsquo;s most powerful resource &ndash; the energy and talents of our citizens &ndash; to solve problems.&nbsp; We believe that everyone can make a difference and that all of us should try. From grade school through retirement, CNCS empowers Americans and fosters a lifetime of service.
