Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service has ordered AmeriCorps to terminate close to $400 million in grants — roughly 41 percent of the national service agency’s total grant funding, according to three people with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss it publicly. It’s the latest blow to the organization, which deploys thousands of young people to work on community service projects across the United States. The decision to eliminate millions of dollars in grants affects 1,031 organizations, and 32,465 AmeriCorps members and senior volunteers, the people said. The agency’s 2025 annual operating budget is about $1 billion. AmeriCorps and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Termination notices for the grants started going out Friday. Recipients were told that their award “no longer effectuates agency priorities,” according to notices reviewed by The Washington Post.
