Survey Conducted on Streamlining Government Grants

Last month, as part of the Streamlining Nonprofit Grants Management Project, OMB Watch conducted an online survey of nonprofits that receive government grants to determine priorities in the implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999. 365 groups responded, representing national, state and local groups and faith and community based organizations. Those who took the survey listed finding grant opportunities and applying for grants as very high priorities for simplification. Coordinating grants between government agencies is also a high priority, as 48% of respondents receive funding from 4 or more agencies. The survey also suggests that coordinating grants streamlining across all levels of government is important as 58% of those responding get multiple grants from different levels of government for the same program.
