Somebody Said, "What Are CFDA Numbers!?"

by C. Henry Adams

For clarifications purposes only, Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. (404) 348-8319 is a business development and telecommunications consulting firm.

It is also the parent company of BIE Media Group, LLC; an advertisement agency. 

Recently, we shared the EDA ( Economic Development Administration ) for the US Federal Government release of a Grant Opportunity.

Within this grant document located on Grants.gov, the acronym 'CFDA' became a question mark.

In essence, somebody said, " What are CFDA Numbers? "

Well, to answer that question, perhaps its wise to know what CFDA stands for in the US Federal Government.

CFDA is the 'Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance'.  CFDA in quote, "(CFDA) provides a full listing of all Federal programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally-recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi- public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals."

CORRECTION: Perhaps, a CFDA Number identify PROGRAMS in a US Federal Government Entity.


Here is what we are thinking.    So, what are your thoughts?
