Each year, Congress must pass legislation to fund the activities and obligations of the U.S. government. In Fiscal Year 2010, the U.S. sent more than $3 billion to the UN. This total included $2.125 billion for peacekeeping operations, $669 million for the regular budget, and $389 million for agencies that the U.S. contributes to but is not an assessed contribution, such as the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) or the World Health Organization (WHO). The U.S. is the largest contributor to the UN, UN peacekeeping, and UN agencies, paying almost a quarter of the UN regular and peacekeeping budgets. betterworldcampaign.org * * *
