Grants update: Terms of engagement.
Key things to know about your terms and conditions as part of the latest attempt to freeze funding, plus this week's listings.
Quick note: I updated a few links (including the curated link to my Streamline list) and some updated information on DOL grants below.
JOBS THAT WORK: THE MONEY is brought to you by
Streamline’s AI-powered Discover platform helps organizations find grants that fit their work more easily and helps them reduce the time it takes to apply. I used Streamline to help put together listings for my paid subscribers—it’s a great tool that makes the hard work of finding grants much easier.

Still shrugging toward grants.gov. We’re still in this uncomfortable period between “chaos” and “pit full of nasty spikes” on much of the $2 billion-plus listed below. I haven’t noticed new disappearing documents in this week’s sweep. Also notable: no DOL grants are listed on DOGE’s Savings page.
The effort to Burn Everything continues. Picking up something I talked about here two weeks ago, the Senate talked with Elon Musk about codifying DOGE cuts through a rescissions package. The budget negotiations between the House and Senate slowed this week—which has “irked” House members, reportedly. A decent number of members from both parties seem to want to reauthorize the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, America’s main source of funding for workforce development. That would seem to get in the way of the Speaker and President’s plans to cut $330 billion from workforce and education over the next three years.
Cabinet watch. Labor nominee Lori-Chavez DeRemer is on the verge of confirmation, and the Senate HELP Committee advanced Deputy Secretary nominee Keith Sonderling as well. The Senate confirmed Linda McMahon as Education Secretary, and the President is preparing an order that would “dismantle” the Education Department.
Behind the paywall.
Congress talks WIOA.
What exactly lives in terms and conditions—and why I wouldn’t try to freeze money with them if I was the Trump Administration.
