Helping Grantees Find a Lifeline Amid the Current Federal Chaos
A swirling morass of confusion and frustration is engulfing many recipients of federal financial assistance as the current administration issues multiple executive orders, and agencies release internal policies, designed to shrink the federal workforce, freeze federal funding, threaten grant program indirect costs and complicate efforts to issue important guidance to run programs efficiently. How are the Trump administration’s initial actions under his second term different than other presidential transitions? What complications are other grantees out there experiencing in light of actions taken by the new administration? What steps can recipients and subrecipients take to prepare for potential threats to their programs and their funding?
At this point, there may be more questions than answers. However, Thompson Grants had a free industry briefing to discuss these topics to give attendees a better idea of the latest executive actions affecting grants, the legality of these actions and what to expect going forward. Download the recording featuring Thompson Grants Editorial Advisory Board members David Clark, Dismas Locaria and Sandy Swab for a question-and-answer presentation on these topics.
