Grants.gov was established as part of the President's 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to be a federal resource that would improve government services to the public. The US Department of Health and Human Services serves as the managing partner for the Grants.gov initiative, providing both operation and fiscal oversight. The site's mission is to serve as a central repository and clearinghouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs provided by 26 federal agencies that award over $500 billion in grants annually. Grant seekers can apply for and manage grant funds online through a single website, thus simplifying grants management and eliminating redundancies. This site does not cover personal financial assistance such as government benefits, student loans, or small business loans, but links are provided to the corresponding agencies.
