Federal Funds Have Been Put On Ice

Federal grants, loans, and financial assistance programs have been temporarily halted by the new administration to ensure compliance with newly issued executive orders. This pause includes small business loans and funding programs, which many business owners rely on heavily. The evaluation process aims to ensure that all federal funding sources align with the administration’s policies, including the removal of DEI clauses, gender ideology, and other provisions deemed inconsistent with the executive orders.

What’s Next: Affected federal agencies have until February 10 to submit detailed reports on their programs and funding allocations for review. This timeline gives the administration an opportunity to evaluate each program and determine its eligibility for continued funding.
