The next burst of social programs came in the 1960s un‐ der Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” when there was a �urry of social programs, in‐ cluding those to address racial injustice and the “War on Poverty.” Another surge in social programs was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) signed by President Barack Obama to provide �nancial stimulus to the states hit hardest by the Great Recession. ARRA’s primary purpose was to support social programs and cre‐ ate jobs with $831 billion committed between 2009 and 2019. Most recently the U.S. government, foundations, and private companies issued COVID-19 pandemic relief grants. These grants provided an in�ux of funding for service delivery, community development, and basic re‐ search. As of the writing of this book in May 2021, the National Institutes of Health alone provided almost $5 billion for COVID-19 projects.

As you can see, particular social issues come in and out of style and face reductions or increases in funding based on the politics of the day. There is true variability in the world of giving. The types of programs funded by Congress are subject to realignment and changes in the focus of politics.
