The U.S. Agency for Global Media shows $1,326,041,510.57 in USAspending.gov obligations through fiscal year 2026. Those dollars sit on 2,209 awards tagged to awarding-agency CGAC 514. The profile is a compact independent-agency book for international broadcasting operations. The hub reports the award file; it does not measure audience reach or score editorial output.
Key figures
- USAGM (CGAC 514) shows $1,326,041,510.57 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026.
- Award volume is 2,209 records.
- The total is an award-file obligation sum, not an audience metric.
- Network-brand splits are not in this packet.
$1.33 billion on 2,209 USAGM awards
The precise total is $1,326,041,510.57. Divided by 2,209 awards, the implied mean is about $600,000 per award. Network operations, transmission, and content-support contracts can occupy those rows; this packet does not split the 2,209 count by brand, so Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, or other network shares are not stated here.
Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year transmission and IT vehicles can remain open, so $1,326,041,510.57 is not a single broadcast year’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.
That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 2,209 awards at a mean near $600,000 fit network operations and transmission support rather than an audience ledger. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year transmission and IT vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.
CGAC 514 as the awarding-agency identifier
SpendingVault keys USAGM to /agencies/514/. CGAC 514 is the USAspending awarding-agency code in this extract. The $1,326,041,510.57 total and 2,209 award count roll up rows carrying that identifier. The award count is not a count of languages, transmitters, or weekly listeners.

Questions
- How much has USAGM obligated on USAspending through FY 2026?
- U.S. Agency for Global Media records (CGAC 514) sum to $1,326,041,510.57 across 2,209 awards in this extract. That figure is an obligation total from USAspending.gov through fiscal year 2026, not an audience estimate and not a language-service count.
- What is CGAC 514?
- CGAC 514 is the USAspending awarding-agency code for the U.S. Agency for Global Media in this extract. SpendingVault’s hub is /agencies/514/. The $1,326,041,510.57 obligation total and 2,209 award count belong to that code through FY 2026.
- Does the award count include every network’s contracts?
- Only if those actions appear as USAspending rows tagged to awarding-agency 514 in this extract. The published totals are $1,326,041,510.57 and 2,209 awards through FY 2026. Brand-level splits are not in this packet.
- Where can I see USAGM spending by U.S. state?
- The state table from the CGAC 514 agency page uses place-of-performance fields on the same obligation extract. Geography rows still sit under $1,326,041,510.57 and 2,209 awards through FY 2026; overseas performance may not fill a state cell.
Agency codes are USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifiers. Totals are obligations, FY range on packet.
