Florida Federal Spending — Week of 2026-09-27

Federal Spending Report: Florida (September 27 – October 3, 2026)

Federal agencies obligated $24,000 to a single Florida-based organization during the week of September 27 through October 3, 2026, marking modest arts funding activity in the state.

The National Endowment for the Arts distributed a $24,000 grant to the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center Inc., the only federal award processed in Florida during the reporting period. The grant represents the week's sole transaction across all federal agencies and contractors, reflecting limited federal spending activity in the state during this seven-day window.

The Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center Inc. was the sole contractor receiving federal funds this week. The organization secured one grant award totaling $24,000, positioning it as both the top contractor and the exclusive beneficiary of federal spending tracked in this report.

The National Endowment for the Arts was the only federal agency issuing awards in Florida during this period. The arts agency obligated its entire $24,000 in weekly spending through a single grant mechanism, underscoring the concentrated nature of federal activity in the state that week.

All federal spending this week took the form of grant funding, with 100 percent of the $24,000 obligated amount designated as grant awards rather than contracts or other transaction types. This grant-focused spending pattern aligns with the NEA's traditional funding structure for arts and cultural organizations.

The relatively low dollar volume and single-award concentration suggest a quiet week for federal spending in Florida compared to typical reporting periods. The funding's designation for a Jewish community center indicates continued federal support for arts and cultural programming within local communities, though the modest scale limits broader economic impact during this particular week.
