Policy Alert: Staying on Top of the Latest News from Washington


The opening days of the second Trump administration have seen a flurry of actions that could have lasting effects on your work, your nonprofit partners, and the issues you focus on in your communities.

Executive orders and directives from other agencies, such as a recently announced freeze on federal grant programs (since rescinded) are being issued at a rapid pace – and many are being challenged in court just as quickly, making it unclear where things stand at any given moment. Meanwhile, Congress is also working on legislation for this year, including tax reform, that stands to have a significant impact on our sector.

To help you keep up with the latest news, we will be releasing updates on public policy on a more frequent basis going forward, as well as more frequent Policy Alerts. These messages will also be posted on our blog, Engage. If you don’t already receive our Public Policy Update or alerts and would like to, please contact Stephen Sherman at stephen@philanthropysoutheast.org.

We will also include more articles on the latest policy developments affecting the charitable sector in our weekly newsletter, Connect.

As news develops, we will be updating this blog post with links to resources and other items provided by Philanthropy Southeast and other organizations in the charitable sector. If you know of a helpful item that isn’t listed here, please let us know by contacting David Miller at david@philanthropysoutheast.org.
