We have heard that The White House’s Executive Order that froze all federal funding for nonprofit organizations across the U.S. has now been canceled.
But we also hear from President Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt via X:
"This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented."
Trump funding freeze still in effect after OMB memo rescinded.
Key Points:
- The White House formally rescinded a controversial memo that had ordered a freeze on federal grants and loans.
- But the White House also said a “federal funding freeze” remains in “full force and effect” to give agencies time to review programs for their compliance with President Donald Trump’s agenda.
- The freeze, which had been set to take effect late Tuesday afternoon, was paused Tuesday by a federal judge to give her time to consider arguments challenging its legality.
- The memo ordering the freeze had been issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
More confusion. NPW will try to clarify.
