The Greater Milwaukee Foundation distributed $96.9 million in 6,184 grants to 2,028 organizations during 2025 — its largest annual total in 110 years of operation. The foundation explicitly tied the surge to regional crises and to "significant gaps in federal funding for nonprofits affecting housing and many basic services." Education received $17.8M, Human Services $16.9M, Arts & Culture $14.2M. Roughly 71% of grant dollars stayed within the four-county service area and 82% within Wisconsin. The foundation's assets grew 57% over the past decade to $1.33 billion. The Milwaukee numbers are an early indicator of a structural shift: community foundations are being asked to absorb federal-program gaps in ways the community-foundation model was not historically designed for, and the strategic implications for nonprofits cut both ways.
Read articleThe May 29, 2026 OMB proposed rewrite of 2 CFR 200 is being read primarily as a cost-principles document. The structural change that will reshape how federal grants get decided is proposed §200.205, which requires senior political appointees to conduct a pre-issuance review of all discretionary awards — and the companion provision that makes peer-review recommendations 'advisory only' and not binding on agency decision-makers. The combined effect is the subordination of merit review to political review across NSF, NIH, DOE, USDA, and every other agency that runs peer-reviewed grant competitions. Why this is structurally different from prior administrations' political influence, what the 45-day comment window means for affected institutions, and the strategy for applicants whose proposals will be reviewed under the new framework starting October 1, 2026.
Read articleThe headlines on OMB's May 29 rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 have focused on §200.205's political pre-issuance review. The structurally larger change is a single sentence in §200.205(d) that says peer review recommendations 'remain advisory and are not ministerially ratified' by the federal agency. That language demotes the peer-review-driven funding model that has defined the NIH, NSF, NEH, and DOE Office of Science research portfolios for fifty years to one input among several — replacing a presumption that scored panels drive funding decisions with a presumption that political appointees do. Comment deadline July 13, effective October 1.
