Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance

This is the government’s major source of federal money programs. This is federal programs only. You can search by keyword or any other way you wish. We copy directly from this book. My first New York Times best seller was a cut and paste job from this book. You’re right I’m a plagiarist. But remember, nothing in the government is copyrighted. You can make money off of plagiarizing too.
