National Council of Nonprofits v. Office of Management and Budget

No. 1:25-cv-00239 District · Active Active

Case Overview

A coalition of organizations represented by Democracy Forward filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, seeking to block the White House Office of Management and Budget from pausing all agency grants.


The Application

History

Plaintiffs argue OMB lacked statutory authorization to issue a blanket funding freeze across all agencies and that the action violates federal law requiring obligation of appropriated funds. They assert irreparable harm to nonprofit operations and beneficiary services, presenting serious questions on the merits regarding executive authority.

The Conclusion

The court is evaluating plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunctive relief against the federal funding freeze. The litigation remains active pending judicial determination of the merits and the propriety of extraordinary relief.
