Axiell Webinar: Navigating the Federal Funding Changes
May 27, 2025
1:00-2:00 pm ET
Since the new presidential administration took office in January 2025, significant changes have reshaped the landscape of federal grants and contracts. Federal funding has long been a vital lifeline for nonprofit organizations, and many are now grappling with the effects of new executive orders, agency and program closures, and terminated awards.
In this webinar, Rachel Werner, federal grant expert, will walk through what has happened thus far and how it impacts organizations, the types of funding available to nonprofits, and the compliance requirements organizations must meet after receiving an award. Through this webinar, you’ll receive a clearer understanding of what your nonprofit can do to manage through these challenging times through discrete actions and tangible next steps.
