Reported obligations by fiscal year
Historical data · not a predictionRange and average of financial assistance (from the listing): Funding is provided to the states through a formula-based allocation process which depends on several factors. First, a base amount (approximately $25,000) is allocated to each State; however, this base amount is excluded from the formula. The balance of funding to each State is determined through a ranking process and dependent upon the following three factors: 1.) forty percent of the remaining balance is allocated based on the area of non-federal commercial forest land; 2.) forty percent is allocated based upon the volume of timber cut annually from stock; and 3.) twenty percent is allocated based on the total expenditures for forestry research from non-federal sources. Funds are then distributed to the eligible State-certified Institutions within the State as determined by the Governors or their Designee. See the annual RFA and the Capacity Program Distribution Schedules webpage for more information.
