The latest in a flurry of Executive Orders has hit home for grant-funded agencies across the country. Despite the rescission of M-25-13, which placed a temporary pause on "all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance," there are plenty of questions surrounding the future of federal funding. All federal agencies are expected to submit reports to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by February 10th detailing all programs, projects, or activities that will be impacted by recent Executive Orders.
Two of Grants Office's most experienced executives discuss the implications for federal grants in the near term, and the proactive steps government and nonprofit leaders can take to ensure they are ready to make the most of federal grant opportunities in 2025 and 2026.
We discuss:
· What happened with OMB Memorandum M-25-13
· The current review process underway by federal agencies to comply with recently issued Executive Orders.
· What we expect to happen after the pending February 10 reporting deadline and upcoming federal budget process
· Strategies for proactive grantseekers to capture more federal funding over the next two years
With the new administration in place and significant changes afoot to both the structure and function of the federal government, complacency is not an option for grantseekers. It’s essential that we stay attentive to the shifting funding landscape. As always, Grants Office will be here to help you navigate it.
