Stay informed and prepared as federal funding regulations evolve, with practical guidance to help your nonprofit understand proposed changes to the Uniform Guidance, assess potential impacts, and plan for what’s ahead.
If your organization receives federal funds, whether directly from a federal agency or passed through a state or local government, or another nonprofit, the rules governing those dollars are changing.
The Uniform Guidance (2CFR Part 200), are the rules governing how federal funds are made and managed, define allowable costs, and determine if an audit is required. In 2026, the federal government proposed a major rewrite to the Uniform Guidance, which could affect award terminations, payment requests, subawards, and program requirements. The proposed rules were paused by Congress through December 11, 2026.
This session is to share the status of the proposed changes and what these changes mean for different nonprofits and review practical steps to help organizations adapt.
Takeaways:
- · Review the changes that have occurred with the 2024 revision
- · What the proposed rewrite would change, and status
- · How to determine if your organization is impacted, including pass-through funding
- · Steps to prepare for the changes
