E-Gov Fund

Overview
The E-Gov Fund was created by the E-Government Act of 2002. The Administrator of OMB’s Office of Electronic Government is responsible for the distribution of funds from the E-Gov Fund.

According to the Act, projects supported by the E-Gov Fund may include efforts to make federal government information and services more readily available to members of the public, making it easier for the public to apply for benefits, receive services, pursue business opportunities, submit information, and conduct transactions with the federal government. Such projects may also include efforts to enable federal agencies to take advantage of IT in sharing information and conducting transactions with each other and with state and local governments.
