Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, or the GIVE Act - Amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA) to revise their programs and reauthorize appropriations for them through FY2012. Title I: Amendments to National and Community Service Act of 1990 - Revises under the NSCA:
(1) the School-Based and Community-Based Service-Learning programs and Higher Education Innovative Programs for Community Service, also known as Learn and Serve programs;

(Sec. 1102) Adds definitions of approved summer of service positions, the baby boom generation, disadvantaged youth, grantmaking entities, Hispanic-serving institutions, historically Black colleges or universities, qualified organizations, and tribally controlled colleges or universities. Subtitle B: Amendments to Subtitle B (Service-Learning) -

Requires the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) to allocate appropriated funds to states, after reserving from 2% to 3% for Indian tribes and territories, pursuant to a formula that takes into account a state's share of school age youth and funds received under title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. Authorizes new Summer of Service programs, within School-Based programs, under which students who will be entering grades 6 through 12 at the end of the summer and complete 100 hours of community-based service learning summer projects become eligible for an educational award of up to $500 from funds deposited in the National Service Trust. Permits the Corporation to increase the award to not more than $1,000 for economically disadvantaged participants. Allows participants to earn a maximum of two summer of service educational awards.

Increases from 5% to 6% the limit on the use of program funds for administrative costs. Turns the School-Based programs into competitive grant programs for any fiscal year for which less than $20 million is appropriated for them. Eliminates the current Community-Based Learn and Serve programs.
(Sec. 1202) Revises the Higher Education Innovative programs (part of the Learn and Serve programs) that award grants to institutions of higher education (IHEs) and partnerships of IHEs and nonprofit organizations for the provision of community service-learning opportunities to postsecondary school students. Allows the use of grant funds for the inclusion of service-learning as a key component not only of preservice teacher education, but also for education in health care, criminal justice, and public policy and public administration. Directs the Corporation, to the extent practicable, to give special consideration to applications submitted by predominantly Black institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges and universities. Requires that grantee IHEs meet the minimum requirement set by the Higher Education Act of 1965 regarding the participation of federal work-study students in community service activities.

(4) set the federal share of program costs at 76% for a recipient's first three years, with gradual reductions in such share until it reaches 50% in year 10, though an alternative match schedule is established for programs in rural or severely economically distressed communities; and
(5) require grant recipients to report any non-Corporation federal funding for their program.

(1) an E-corp program increasing community access to technology;
