Welcome to January Ricochet Roundup Newsletter.
Important Update: Federal Funding for AFG and SAFER Grants
A recent memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has caused confusion about federal funding programs, including AFG and SAFER grants. While the memo temporarily froze all federal financial assistance, including these programs, new clarifications and legal actions are in progress.
While AFG and SAFER grants are not currently expected to be affected, GAC is closely monitoring the situation.
