Indiana Comptroller Elise Nieshalla Launches New Dashboard Tracking Federal Spending in State

Today, the Indiana State Comptroller’s Office announced the launch of a new Federal Funding Expenditures Dashboard on the Indiana Transparency Portal (ITP) that shows Hoosiers exactly where federal dollars come from and how they were used — broken down by federal department, expenditure category, account and state agency.

“Federal grants made up 42 percent of Indiana’s general revenue for fiscal year 2025 — a total of $22.6 billion. This dashboard gives every Hoosier — from citizens to state legislators, media and federal partners — the clearest view yet of how those dollars move through Indiana government,” said Comptroller Nieshalla. “The historical data included further enables spotting trends and flagging where extra review is needed, and it’s a meaningful assist to agency partners working to root out any fraud, waste or abuse that may be lurking. This is an additional tool for building and preserving public trust.”

The dashboard is Indiana’s first public-facing, navigable tool dedicated to tracking federal expenditures and offers the ability to see trends by providing six years of historical data. Designed to complement USASpending.gov — which reports federal award amounts — this dashboard shows what Indiana agencies have spent, pulling directly from the State’s financial system. It is modeled after the existing Total State Expenditures Dashboard on the ITP and is available at in.gov/itp/finances/Federal-Funding-Expenditures-Dashboard/.

“This new dashboard ensures Hoosiers have clear, accessible insight into how billions in federal dollars are spent across our state,” said Governor Mike Braun. “Transparency builds trust, and I commend Comptroller Nieshalla and her team for their continued commitment to accountability and innovation. Tools like this empower citizens and strengthen confidence in how government manages public resources.”

The Federal Funding Expenditures Dashboard allows users to:
See from which federal departments and programs the funds originate, and to which agency they are dispersed.
View federal funds in state spending categories — such as Social Service Payments, Contractual Services or Personal Services.
Explore specific state agency accounts from which federal funds were spent, providing the most granular level of information.
The dashboard reflects actual federal funding expenditures and does not include federal dollars that have been awarded but not yet expended. An FAQ is available here. For questions or suggestions about the new Federal Funding Expenditures Dashboard, contact comments@comptroller.in.gov.

About the Indiana Transparency Portal
The Indiana Transparency Portal (ITP) is the State of Indiana’s public-facing hub for financial transparency, managed by the Indiana State Comptroller’s Office in partnership with the Management Performance Hub (MPH) and the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT). The portal was launched in 2010 to give Hoosiers a clear and accessible view of how public dollars are collected, spent and managed.

ITP provides easy access to information on state finances including assets, contracts, employee salaries, vendor activity, and distributions to local units of government. The Federal Funding Expenditures Dashboard is the latest addition to ITP’s suite of interactive financial tools, further expanding on the Comptroller’s commitment to open and transparent financial reporting.
