c) Improving the quality and dissemination of information related to the types of assistance that are offered by the government

d) Improving stewardship of Federal dollars.

The Grants Policy Committee intends to achieve all of this by prioritizing the best interests of the grants community by continuously determining opportunities that would significantly improve the process of Federal financial assistance.

Consequently, the GCP makes it their mission to increase the effectiveness of Federal financial assistance by way of the provision of valuable policies and procedural recommendations to the Office of Management and Budget(OMB), which is the leading agency that assists the President of the United States in overseeing the preparation of the federal budget.

The establishment of the GCP is significantly helpful in the process of streamlining the programs that are offered by the federal government as it aids the government in the process of identifying interventions that would potentially benefit the entirety of the American people.

If you are considering the idea of procuring a grant or any form of financial assistance from the government, it would be helpful for you to visit the the GCP website at http://www.cfoc.gov/index.cfm?function=grant_governance in order to obtain a better comprehension of the complex process of grant giving and personal funding.
