Survey for Nonprofits With Government Grants

Federal agencies are now working to streamline the federal grants process. We are conducting an online survey of nonprofits to provide input to the agencies on priorities.

In 1999, Congress passed the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act, Public Law 106-107 initiating a process to create uniform grant applications and reports. (The law is the result of nonprofits advocating for this streamlining process and passed Congress unanimously.) Federal agencies are now working to implement the law, and a major focus of the program is E-Grants.

OMB Watch is co-sponsoring with GuideStar and the Urban Institute the Streamlining Nonprofit Grants Management Project, which is a nonprofit sector response to this federal initiative. We are organizing a sector-wide network to address grants management issues of special interest to nonprofits. We will prepare and submit comments and recommendations to the federal government and facilitate implementation of selected recommendations.

Nonprofits that receive government funds are urged to complete the survey and join the Streamlining Grants Management Project’s network to help us establish priorities for nonprofit federal grantees.

For detailed information about the Federal initiative see the Grant Streamlining page on our website.
