Amen!
We just launched a small subaward and the new EO on grants came in shortly after our informational webinar. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/improving-oversight-of-federal-grantmaking/
Happy Friday & weekend to all!

Best,
Maura

I was heartened last week to see the Senate Appropriations Committee included funding for IMLS in their version of the budget.

The full text of the Senate's appropriations bill can be found here (IMLS on page 329-330): https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fy26_lhhs_senate_report.pdf

I also took Teri's email yesterday about the opportunity to support the Second Lady's Summer Reading Challenge as a positive sign for IMLS.

I know there's a long road ahead when it comes to the budget (and everything else), but I'm going to hang on to hope where I can.
