In accordance with MCC 2-4-055, the Office of Budget and Management releases a Mid-Year Budget Report, which provides information on the City’s financial information through the mid-point of the City’s fiscal year. While most of the required information is included directly in the report, some datasets are provided on the Chicago Data Portal. As described in the Mid-Year Report, this dataset provides details for the Grants 925 Appropriation.

925 Grant Appropriation: When a City department receives a new grant award or a grant award that is higher than the amount appropriated in the annual budget, City Council approval is required to accept and spend the grant funds. OBM coordinates with City Departments to bring “925 Amendments” before the Committee on Budget and Government Operations each month.

Data Limitations: The data available herein reflects all grant expenditures and balances on active grant awards from the inception of the award through the designated reporting period. Because grant award periods often do not align with the City’s fiscal year and can extend over multiple years, active grants are tracked on a rolling basis. The data reflects grant awards that have been received and set up in the City’s financial system, not all grant appropriations reflected in the current year's ordinance, as not all grant awards have been received. Please note, expenditure data for programs funded through the American Rescue Plan Act’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund is not within this dataset.
