Making Sense of Recent Executive Orders and the Impact on Federal Grant Funding

The latest in a flurry of Executive Orders has hit home for grant-funded agencies across the country. Despite the rescission of M-25-13, which placed a temporary pause on "all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance," there are plenty of questions surrounding the future of federal funding. All federal agencies are expected to submit reports to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by February 10th detailing all programs, projects, or activities that will be impacted by recent Executive Orders.

Join two of Grants Office's most experienced executives to discuss the implications for federal grants in the near term, and proactive steps government and nonprofit leaders can take to ensure they are ready to make the most of federal grant opportunities in 2025 and 2026.

We will discuss:
· What happened with OMB Memorandum M-25-13
· The current review process underway by federal agencies to comply with recently issued Executive Orders.
· What we expect to happen after the pending February 10 reporting deadline and upcoming federal budget process
· Strategies for proactive grantseekers to capture more federal funding over the next two years

With the new administration in place and significant changes afoot to both the structure and function of the federal government, complacency is not an option for grantseekers. It’s essential that we stay attentive to the shifting funding landscape. As always, Grants Office will be here to help you navigate it.

Since 1994, the Department of Justice has invested over $14 billion in community policing efforts through the Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, office. With the threat of violent incidents at our nation’s schools, how can this funding help support school districts and law enforcement agencies better protect our schools?

Through the bipartisan Stop School Violence Act of 2018, the COPS office has successfully funded efforts in helping to keep our country’s schools safe and better prepared for unexpected acts of violence through the School Violence Prevention Program, or SVPP. This very successful, yet highly competitive, grant program will see around $73 million in funding per year until 2028.

In a world characterized by the explosion of the Internet of Things (IOT), public sector agencies are being asked to make investments in technology that can increase safety, increase efficiency, streamline processes, and improve services for their target customers, whether they be constituents, students, or passengers. The application of IOT is limitless across the public sector. IOT can be used by school systems to monitor and improve the safety of students and employees. State and local governments and transit agencies are also leveraging IOT to develop interconnected transportation systems that serve as the backbone for the creation of smart cities and communities.

For many public agencies that have limited financial resources, making investments in IOT is secondary to maintaining personnel to meet the most basic needs of the citizens and students they serve. However, investing in IOT can serve as a multiplier in efficiency that cannot be achieved by the addition of personnel. And fortunately, there are many grants available to school districts, institutions of higher education, state and local governments, public safety entities, transit agencies, and utility companies to deploy IOT-enabled projects to improve the overall safety, sustainability, and efficiency of their operations.

Join Grants Office and special guests from Samsara to learn about the grant funding landscape for IOT-enabled projects in the public sector. In addition to information on specific funding programs and IOT solutions, participants will receive tips and discover best practices for securing the grant funding they need for their project.
