GRANT Reform Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill requires the government to publish a yearly report on every federal grant it gives out. The report would be available to the public and include the name of the grant, who received the money, how much they got, and what the money was used for.
• People or groups who receive federal grants would have to file their own reports within three months of finishing a project. They would need to list how much they spent on salaries, which subcontractors they paid, and what they spent on materials or office costs.
• If a grant recipient fails to turn in their report, they will be banned from getting any more federal grants until they provide the required information. This is meant to make sure everyone follows the new rules for transparency.
• The goal of this policy is to give taxpayers a clearer picture of where their money goes. By making this information public, the government hopes to catch waste and make sure grant money is being spent the way it was intended.
