• Weekly updates of the agencies' funding notifications and financial and activity reports
• Map presenting state-by-state funding
• Graphs charting the weekly progress of agencies's made available and paid-out funds
• Map showing the recipients of funds and the resulting projects
• Written reports on the agencies' plans for where and how they'll spend the funds
• Information on Federal contracts, grants and loans
• A map illustrating the estimates of jobs to be created or saved and links to job information sites
• Links to State Recovery sites and other government Recovery sites
• Tools for the public to report for waste, fraud and abuse of recovery funds
• Oversight audits by the Inspectors General of each Agency

Recovery.gov will continue to evolve to reflect additional data as it is collected.
