Method
How the federal grant award index was built
1. Group obligations by Assistance Listing
Grantsights queried the USAspending Spending Over Time endpoint by fiscal year and Assistance Listing using award type codes 02, 03, 04, and 05.
2. Join current official program titles
Listing numbers were matched to the current public SAM.gov Assistance Listings catalog. Historical rows that no longer match remain in the download and are labeled.
3. Keep recipient coverage separate
The indexed award-record field comes from a separate USAspending award search. Collection stops at 200 pages of 100 returned rows for each listing and fiscal year, so it is never presented as a full award count.

Request an exportFederal grant awards database questions
Is this a list of open grants?
No. It is an award-history dataset. A current SAM.gov Assistance Listing describes a federal program, but it does not prove that a funding opportunity is open now.
Does the $1.09 trillion figure cover every federal grant?
No. It is the sum of FY2024 obligations for the 2,601 Assistance Listings stored in this index. It should not be read as the total for all federal financial assistance.
Are the indexed award-record counts complete?
No. Recipient-level collection is capped at 20,000 returned prime-award rows per Assistance Listing and fiscal year. The counts are useful for research coverage, not for a census of every award or transaction.
What does an obligation mean?
USAspending defines an obligation as a promise by the federal government to spend funds. Obligations differ from outlays, which record money actually paid.
