The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is a government-wide compendium of Federal programs, projects, services, and activities that provide assistance or benefits to the American public. It contains financial and nonfinancial assistance programs administered by departments and establishments of the Federal government.
In 1984, Public Law 98-169 authorized the transfer of responsibilities of the Federal Program Information Act from the Office of Management and Budget to the General Services Administration. The transfer took place in July 1984. These responsibilities include the dissemination of Federal domestic assistance program information through the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, pursuant to the Federal Program Information Act, Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 98-169.
Responsibility for the database of Federal assistance lies with the General Services Administration. The OMB interfaces with the range of Federal agencies on behalf of the GSA delivering the required oversight to the program data related to domestic assistance.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is the fundamental reference for all Federal programs. Its most important purpose is in assisting visitors in identification of programs that meet their specific requirements. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance also is a great source of information on Federal assistance programs. The CFDA also seeks to enhance communications and improve coordination between State and Local governments and the Federal government.
The CFDA lets grant seekers access all domestic programs managed by Federal agencies and departments in a single resource. All information is cross referenced by Functional Index, subject, applicant, deadline(s) for program application submission, and Authorization Index. All of this information is invaluable as resource tools that can make it easier to identify specific areas of program interest more efficiently.
Since 1977 the GSA has published printed editions of the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. Legislation required free dissemination of the CFDA to specific recipients. In 2003 the General Services Administration distributed close to 10,000 copies of the Catalog.
New rulings now gives the General Services Administration discretion in what form to produce and disseminate the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. The GSA is endeavoring to move to a more paper free environment and toward that end now maintains and distributes the CFDA through the CFDA Website. The General Services Administration no longer prints and distributes free copies of the Catalog.
