A:
Yes, the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is a legitimate government resource. The CFDA was a comprehensive listing of all U.S. federal programs available to State and local governments, organizations, and individuals. It provided detailed information on financial and non-financial assistance programs administered by various federal agencies.
However, it’s important to note that the CFDA has been integrated into a new system called the Assistance Listings on beta.SAM.gov. This change was made to streamline access to federal assistance programs and improve transparency. You can access the updated information and search for assistance programs through the beta.SAM.gov website.
When seeking information about federal assistance programs, always ensure you are using official government websites, which typically have .gov domains. This will help you avoid scams and ensure you are getting accurate and reliable information.
