What information is on our map
State Grants. Grants that have been awarded to Washington state agencies. Most of these grants are competitive, although some of the awards represent funding that is distributed based on a formula. State agencies are responsible for this data, which is why a greater level of detail is available for this funding than for funds given directly to local governments, non-profits or businesses.
Local Grants. Grants that have been awarded to local and tribal governments, non-profits, and private sector businesses. A total of 10 loans made locally are also reflected in the map.
Contracts. Contracts that the federal government has entered into directly with companies. The Hanford Nuclear Reservation is the largest recipient of funds, with billions in Recovery dollars going toward critical environmental clean-up.
Important Note: The local grants and contracts are outside the control of Washington state government. However, in an effort to make the map of Washington funding as complete as possible, this non-state agency data has been added to the map. This information was obtained from www.recovery.gov after its release on January 30, 2010.

What information is not on our map
Funding that is applied across the state is not shown on the map. Detailed reports on funding for statewide initiatives are available in our Download Center.
Assistance for individuals, such as Medicaid, food stamps or unemployment insurance, and tax benefits are not reflected on the map. A more detailed report on unemployment insurance is available in our Download Center.
Data caveats
Information is updated quarterly. The map is updated after the release of data following each quarterly reporting period. The data on this map reflects reports made on Recovery funding through December 31, 2009.
Some funding overlaps counties. Where funding is allocated for more than one county, such as aid to school districts and some highway projects, we allocate it to the primary county as defined by federal agencies, or split the funding equally over counties where the work will be performed.
Reporting timelines
The Recovery Act created reporting requirements for recipients of funding in order to measure progress. The next set of reports will be submitted in April 2010.
