The White House is seeking detailed spending information on federal dollars going toward dozens of nonprofit organizations, according to a memo obtained by Federal News Network.
The memo, which the Office of Management and Budget circulated to executive branch agencies on May 13, calls on all federal departments and agencies to submit agency-level spending data related to a targeted list of 49 nonprofit organizations.
The organizations named in the memo, reviewed by Federal News Network, do advocacy work supporting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI); the LGBTQ+ community; immigrants and refugees; civil rights and legal aid; environmentalism; and international and humanitarian aid.
The list contains nonprofit groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, National Urban League and U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
OMB said agencies should submit budget data reports including all grants, loans, contracts, cooperative agreements and any other monetary awards that are being provided to the dozens of organizations on the White House’s list. Agencies should include all programs and projects that have obligated spending toward the targeted organizations, “even if the provision of this funding is under litigation,” the memo said.
