Executive Order on DEI: What Nonprofits and Philanthropies Need to Know
On January 21, the Trump administration issued an executive order titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” directing federal agencies to identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs deemed discriminatory. Large nonprofit organizations and foundations with assets of $500 million or more are among those that could be identified.
Join the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, National Council of Nonprofits, and United Philanthropy Forum for a discussion on how this action affects nonprofits and philanthropy. Legal expert Emily Cuneo DeSmedt of Morgan Lewis will provide valuable insights to help nonprofits and philanthropies understand this order.
Join MPC after this national session for a Maine debrief. More information on the debrief here.
