Welcome to USASpending.gov - Where Americans Can See Where Their Money Goes |
Have you ever wanted to find more information on government spending? Have you ever wondered where federal contracting dollars and grant awards go? Or perhaps you would just like to know, as a citizen, what the government is really doing with your money. The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act) requires a single searchable website, accessible by the public for free that includes for each Federal award:
1. The name of the entity receiving the award; 2. The amount of the award; 3. Information on the award including transaction type, funding agency, etc; 4. The location of the entity receiving the award; 5. A unique identifier of the entity receiving the award. |
Welcome to www.USAspending.gov, a relaunch of www.FederalSpending.gov, that provides citizens with easy access to government contract, grant and other award data. |
To begin searching, select either the Assistance or Contracts tab at the top left side of this page. You can easily switch back and forth as you search. |
The table below provides a summary of the federal spending information available on USASpending.gov. For an overview of the data available on this website, please see the Data Quality tab at the top of this page.
