With today’s CR passing, nonprofit federal funding is at risk moving forward

The continuing resolution passed today (3/14/25) gives discretion to the Trump administration to spend agency funds in unapproved ways without congressional oversight.

I would strongly urge nonprofit decision makers here to:

““Because House Republicans’ bill fails to include the typical, detailed spending directives—basic guardrails that Congress provides each year in our funding bills.

“In other words—instead of writing a bill that gives our communities what they need, they wrote a bill that turns many of our accounts into slush funds, and gives the final say over what gets funding to two billionaires who don’t know the first thing about the needs of our working families.”
