Recent federal court orders have temporarily halted the Trump administration's freeze on federal grants and loans. Despite these rulings, some organizations continue to experience funding disruptions. Please report here the real-world impacts of President Trump and Elon Musk’s recent and ongoing federal firings and funding freezes.
U.S. District Court of Rhode Island Judge John McConnell issued a restraining order preventing the administration from "pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate" taxpayer money already allocated by Congress.
And U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Loren Alikhan issued a restraining order in a case brought on behalf of the National Council of Nonprofits by Democracy Forward saying “evidence submitted by the plaintiffs “paint a stark picture of nationwide panic in the wake of the funding freeze. Organizations with every conceivable mission — healthcare, scientific research, emergency shelters, and more — were shut out of funding portals or denied critical resources beginning on January 28.”
If your federal funding remains paused or you have been prevented from accessing federal funds in violation of these court orders, we urge you to report these issues.
Arizona Government Entities and Nonprofits: Please contact the Arizona Attorney General’s Office at [email protected].
Your reports will help ensure compliance with federal court orders and the continued flow of critical funding for Arizona communities.
