About the GPC
The Grants Policy Committee (GPC) is a committee of the U.S. Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Council [EXIT Disclaimer] consisting of grants policy experts from across the Federal government.
GPC's vision is to improve the effectiveness of Federal financial assistance by:
- Simplifying the application process
- Streamlining financial assistance award and administration
- Improving quality and timeliness of information related to assistance
- Improving stewardship of Federal dollars
The GPC is committed to serving the best interests of the grants community by continually identifying opportunities to improve Federal financial assistance. The GPC's improvement efforts gained significant momentum when the committee assumed responsibility for implementing P.L. 106-107, the Federal Financial Management Assistance Act of 1999. While P.L. 106-107 expired in November 2007, the GPC continues to build on this momentum, advancing existing efforts and leveraging new opportunities to enhance Federal financial assistance.
