After a decade-long absence, Congress reinstituted Congressionally Directed Spending (often referred to as earmarks) in early 2021. Earmarks are included in federal funding bills and provide funding to specific nonprofits and government entities. Congress is working to finalize the fiscal year 2023 federal funding legislation right now, and the bills include hundreds of nonprofit earmarks worth billions of dollars.

View the webinar hosted by CMF, Michigan Nonprofit Association and Michigan Association of United Ways to learn about the steps you can take to leverage federal funding for your communities. We were joined by Steve Taylor of Integer, who brings deep expertise on the subject, having formerly led United Way's efforts around Congressionally Directed Spending and helped local nonprofits secure 65 earmarks totaling in excess of $41 million.
