National Council of Nonprofits Statement on Pause to Federal Grants and Contracting

National Council of Nonprofits President & CEO Diane Yentel released the following statement in response to the recent announcement that federal grants and loan disbursement would be paused:

“This order is a potential five-alarm fire for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve. From pausing research on cures for childhood cancer to halting food assistance, safety from domestic violence, and closing suicide hotlines, the impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives. This order could decimate thousands of organizations and leave neighbors without the services they need.”
