grants to states, institutions of higher education, non-profit
organizations, Indian tribes, and U.S. Territories to operate
AmeriCorps State, AmeriCorps National, AmeriCorps NCCC, AmeriCorps
VISTA, Social Innovation Fund and Senior Corps programs. This
information collection comprises the information that grantees provide
as part of ongoing program monitoring and reporting. Grantees respond
to the information requested to report on progress towards the
requirements and goals of their Social Innovation Fund grants. The
Social Innovation Fund will use the information collection to monitor
ongoing progress of the grantees, inform portfolio management and
technical assistance, and to inform stakeholders about the progress of
the Social Innovation Fund portfolio. CNCS also seeks to continue using
the currently approved information collection until the revised
information collection is approved by OMB. The currently approved

information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
