FedSpending.org

This website is "a free, searchable database of federal government spending." The data is "largely from two sources: the Federal Procurement Data System, which contains information about federal contracts; and the Federal Assistance Award Data System, which contains information about federal financial assistance such as grants, loans, insurance, and direct subsidies like Social Security." Also includes a glossary. From OMB Watch, "a nonprofit research and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting government accountability."
