On Wednesday, July 29, the Department of Justice released a memo that included new guidance for federal funding recipients about what the Administration views as unlawful discrimination based on protected characteristics. The memo includes what it calls "non-binding suggestions" to help organizations minimize potential legal and operational risks. While the guidance is directed at entities that receive federal funding and entities subject to federal anti-discrimination laws, it may have a broader reach affecting federal funding recipients' (financial) relationships with contractors, grantees, and other third parties.

In addition to the DOJ memo, on Thursday, August 7, the Administration released an executive order focused on improving oversight of federal grantmaking.
