The federal budget provides about 30% of state revenue, making it the single largest source of revenue in many states.

Federal Funds Information for States (FFIS)—founded by Vic Miller with support from the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures—helps states manage federal funds by analyzing the impact of federal actions on states—be it sequestration, budget enactment, new legislative proposals, or potential government shutdowns.
