Abstract
Using the information provided by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau, this research attempts to improve our understanding of the nature, scale, extent, and sources of federal funding to social service and educational nonprofit organizations. Using 2001 as the base year, this research is divided into two parts. The first part looks into federal funding provided to social service organizations by laying out the amounts of grants awarded by 57 different federal agencies and looking into its geographic and per capita distribution. The second part traces federal funding provided to universities and provides information on the institutions and states receiving the most grants and the federal agencies that provided them. The data’s utility, limitations, and potential uses to academicians and practitioners are also discussed.
