The notion that the government should be completely transparent stems from President Obama’s idea that public engagement will enhance the government’s effectiveness and improve the quality of its decisions. Recently instated in 2009, this new transparency will affect government grants by providing a database of past recipients; so that current applicants can 1) assess their likelihood of receiving government grants, and 2) let the public know where the government is spending their money. You can visit www.recovery.gov and see clearly drawn out recipient reported data, detailing exactly the number of distributed awards, the amount of funding awarded, received funding and recipient reported jobs as up-to-date as Dec. 31, 2009. For example, last year in New York State, the government awarded 3,060 grants, totaling roughly $10.21 billion dollars to be distributed over time. Of the $10 billion, between October and December, $1.77 of the grants were received. These government grants made it possible for a thus far 41, 767 jobs to be created. You can view details of the individual distributions on the website. There are 5 steps to apply for government grants. 1) Make sure you are eligible.
