# PA Institutional Assistance Grants (IAG) Program 7. PA Institutional Assistance Grants (IAG) Program # PA Institutional Assistance Grants (IAG) Program ## What is the IAG Program? The IAG Program was created by legislation from the Pennsylvania General Assembly in July of 1974 (Act No. 174).
The purpose of the program is to moderate costs at independent nonprofit institutions within the Commonwealth by providing funding to these institutions. Eligible institutions receive block grants based on the number of PA State Grant-receiving students in attendance. The institution must spend the grant on eligible institutional expenses, such as staff salaries, operating expenses, utilities, or maintenance.
IAG funds may not be spent on sectarian or denominational expenses.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix.
