Shortly after being sworn in, President Trump issued dozens of Executive Orders (EOs) covering a broad range of issues. In an effort to aid the swift analysis of the recent executive orders, the National Council of Nonprofits crafted a chart of the most pertinent executive orders, expected impacts, and related actions that they will be updating regularly.
The Impacts of Executive Orders on Nonprofits
Dozens of executive orders covering a broad range of issues will impact charitable nonprofits. As you navigate what these changes may mean to you – personally and professionally – the following resources may be helpful. As we see other relevant resources, we will add them to this page.
- If your organization is experiencing funding access issues, consider reaching out to your congressional representatives. Often, they are unaware of these issues until they hear from impacted organizations.
- Executive actions often serve as signals rather than immediate, enforceable policy changes. Legal challenges may delay or overturn certain orders. Many require further agency reports, congressional action, or court rulings before full implementation.
