The DOGE Files

Introducing the DOGE Files (TheDOGEFiles.org), an ongoing CRC project to document some of the most egregious examples of the federal government’s careless use of your tax dollars.
As longtime experts on the American nonprofit sector, the Capital Research Center (CRC) has embarked on a massive project to comb through billions of dollars of federal spending records to identify the wasteful, ludicrous, and downright awful nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) receiving massive grants from the U.S. government. We hope to inform the public how their money is used and to identify waste that legislators and federal officials can eliminate.
The webpage for this project will link to CRC research by government department, issue area, and grant recipient. To date, we have three posts. Additional DOGE-related research will be posted in the coming days.
