• Is everyone greedy? Are grants a form of greed? The US Department of Justice evidently recognizes that when it says “Grant funds are awarded for a specific ‘public purpose’ and grantees must use those funds as agreed and within certain parameters (according to) granting agency guidelines. Most issues of fraud, including grant fraud, essentially relate to ‘lying, cheating, and stealing.’” Often the elected officials embrace the notion we’ve heard often: “Hey, we might as well apply for the grant money or someone else will.”
