About This Data
This tracker aggregates publicly available information about federal grant cancellations from the Department of Government Efficiency's "Wall of Receipts" API and USASpending.gov. The data represents grants that were previously approved and subsequently terminated. Current captured cancellations total approximately $14.2 billion, representing roughly 30% of total identified cancellations.
Grant cancellations have affected healthcare, education, scientific research, arts and culture, clean energy, food security, and international development. Some grants show as canceled with $0 in savings because they were approved but funds had not yet been obligated. The full scope continues to emerge as organizations report their losses. New cancellations are being identified daily as termination notices reach recipients.
Understanding Grant Values and Cancellations
Why some grants show $0 cancellations: Grant cancellations can occur at different stages of the funding process. Grants that were approved but not yet obligated (no funds disbursed) will show as canceled with $0 in savings, as no federal funds were actually spent.
Total Value
The potential expenditure including all options and the full grant period. This represents what could have been spent if the grant continued to completion.
Rescissions
The difference between total value and amount already obligated. If funds were already disbursed, cancellations may be less than the total grant value.
Data discrepancies: Numbers may vary between FPDS, USAspending, and agency reports. This tracker prioritizes data directly from agency contracting and grant officials where available.
Alternative Grant Opportunities
While some programs have been removed, thousands of federal, state, local, and private grants remain open. GrantExec helps discover alternative funding sources with AI sifting through the largest database of grants in the United States, updated daily.
