Nonprofits and service programs are facing uncertainty and anxiety due to President Trump's recent freeze on federal grants and aid programs. Organizations that support low-income populations, like food providers and social services, fear they may be forced to reduce their operations in the absence of federal funding. The Office of Management and Budget's memo justified the freeze by claiming it targets misuse of funds and promotes efficiency, but many groups expressed confusion and distress over the lack of clarity regarding their funding future.
The sweeping order's lack of guidance left a wide range of organizations, including hospitals and housing assistance programs, wondering if they would have to immediately scale back operations.
It's chaos in nonprofit world, said Claudia Raymer, who runs the Ohio County Family Resource Network, indicating the panic felt by those serving low-income Americans.
