Budget Transparency

The Garden State Initiative’s NJBudget.com Budget Additions portal provides transparency on hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars within the state budget awarded to local governments and nonprofit organizations outside of any formal public process or merit-based criteria. The portal is searchable by county, legislative district, municipality or recipient organization.

The NJBudget.com Department Analysis section provides additional transparency into the budgets of individual state agencies, allowing the public to better understand how taxpayer funds are allocated across state governments. New departments are added on a rolling basis as data becomes available.
