⚠️ If your organization receives or relies on federal funding, this update is for you.

The proposed overhaul of the Uniform Guidance is still moving — and the window to act is NOW.

Here's where things stand:
📌 Nearly 500,000 public comments were submitted — 94-95% in opposition
📌 The Senate voted 90-6 to delay finalization until December 11
📌 The House CR did NOT include the delay — so it's not a done deal
📌 The Department of Education just issued its OWN proposed rule changes (public comments open through September 23!)

Congress is in August recess until September 14 — which means RIGHT NOW is the time to contact your representatives.

Our latest federal funding blog breaks it all down and tells you exactly what to do next. 👇
