About this map
This site shows where federal grants went, using official records from USAspending.gov. It shows who received money. It does not show fraud, waste or misuse.
What is counted
- Grants and cooperative agreements (block, formula and project grants) with an action date in fiscal year 2025: October 2024 to September 2025. Contracts, loans, insurance and direct payments to individuals are not included.
- Amounts are net obligations: what agencies committed in that period, minus any reductions. They are not audited and they are not cash spent.
- The "change" view compares each place with fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024).
- Per-person figures divide by the population USAspending reports for each state and county.
What to keep in mind
- Money is placed at the recipient's address. A state agency in the capital may pass funds on to local groups in other counties, so capital counties look large.
- Map colors split the places on screen into seven groups of about equal size. A darker shade means a higher rank among the places shown, not a fixed dollar amount; the legend gives the ranges.
- People are not listed by name. Records USAspending groups as multiple recipients, redacted or individual are left out of the lists, and names that look personal stay out unless they total $5M or more. This filter is automatic and may make mistakes.
- Connecticut reports by its nine planning regions. Each region is shown in the older county that holds most of it, so Tolland County shows no figure.
- Each county lists its largest 100 recipients. Every listed name links to its record on USAspending.gov.
- The Unusual patterns page flags counties whose numbers stand out: one recipient getting most of the money, very high grants per person for the county's size, or a big rise or fall since last year. A flag is a reason to look closer, not evidence of a problem.
- Compare mode lines up to four states or counties side by side. Agency and program rows are per person so places of different sizes can be compared.
