Impact of Recent Government Policies on Fundraising

Latest Update on Federal Funding Freeze

On Wednesday, January 29, the Trump Administration rescinded their Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directive from January 27, 2025 which instructed many federal agencies to freeze federal loans, grants, and other financial assistance. Effective immediately, grantees should be able to access their funds without disruption. Read the new memo here.

If you are still unable to access your grant portals, please let us know by emailing paffairs@afpglobal.org. We are tracking this and any additional impacts as a result of the funding freeze.

We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates to members in the daily newsletter as needed. If you are not an AFP member and would like to be kept up to date, sign up for the AFP weekly newsletter, a roundup of the top five things you need to know in fundraising each week.
