Assistance dollars often pass THROUGH the named recipient — a state agency administering a federal program is the recipient of record, not the ultimate beneficiary.

Questions

Who receives the most federal grant money in FY2023?
Health Care Services, California Department of, with $85.1B in federal assistance in FY2023.
Is a grant the same as a contract?
No. A contract buys something for the government; a grant funds the recipient to carry out a public purpose of its own. They are recorded separately in the source and ranked separately here.
Where does this ranking come from?
It is computed from USASpending.gov award records, which are U.S. government works and in the public domain. Each figure is total obligations minus contract-coded obligations for FY2023. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
How many recipients are shown?
The top 100 for FY2023. Each row opens that recipient's own page, where the same money is broken out by year, by counterparty and by place.
Does a high position mean anything is wrong?
No. This is a description of where public money went in FY2023, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
