Скачать или смотреть Episode 153: Federal Grants in 2026: What Nonprofits Need to Know Before Applying

Is federal funding coming back? Should your nonprofit apply for federal grants in 2026? And what are the new compliance risks you need to understand before submitting an application?

In this episode of A Modern Nonprofit Podcast, Tosha Anderson sits down with federal funding expert Fielding Jezreel to unpack the current state of federal grants as of February 2026.

After a turbulent 2025 filled with funding whiplash, shutdown fears, and shifting priorities, we’re finally seeing stability return. But that doesn’t mean it’s business as usual.

We cover:
-Why federal grant opportunities are surging in Spring 2026
-New federal funding priorities (faith-based, charter schools, rural organizations)
-Increased scrutiny around first-year outcomes and compliance
-Red flags that mean your nonprofit is NOT ready to apply
-How to build the infrastructure to withstand federal audits
-Whether you should apply directly or start as a sub-recipient

If you’re a nonprofit leader navigating federal funding, grant management, compliance requirements, or organizational readiness, this episode is essential listening.

Federal grants aren’t all doom and gloom in 2026 — but they do require strategy.
