The FY2027 President's Budget requests $11.92B for Administration of Foreign Affairs, within State's Administration of Foreign Affairs account. That is down 1.6% on the FY2026 figure of $12.11B, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $12,579.9M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $12,107.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $11,918.8M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
State discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of State's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the operations of the State Department, including diplomatic personnel, embassies and overseas posts, worldwide security protection, public diplomacy, and related administrative accounts that carry out U.S. foreign policy worldwide.
Extracted from Diplomatic Engagement, p. 22. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
