Potential Federal Grantmaking Updates (OMB Guidance): A Conversation with Nonprofit Leaders
A space for WA nonprofit leaders to candidly discuss OMB Uniform Guidance
Online via Zoom
* Registration open until 9/3/26 at 10:00 AM (PDT)
The OMB Uniform Guidance is the common set of rules governing most federal grantmaking to charitable nonprofits, state, local, and Tribal governments, and others.
Why It Matters
On May 29, 2026, OMB proposed sweeping changes to overhaul the Uniform Guidance. If implemented the proposal would create significant risk and instability for federal grantees, including nonprofits, making it more difficult to provide vital services to communities.
Where We Stand
Nonprofits across Washington may be affected differently depending on their programs, funding sources, and relationships with federal, state, and local government. Organizations receiving federal funding directly, as well as those receiving federal funds through state and local agencies or other pass-through entities, are assessing what the proposed changes could mean for their funding, programs, compliance obligations, and communities.
What To Expect
After receiving an update from our federal partner, this convening is designed as a space for Washington nonprofit leaders to talk candidly with one another about what these changes could mean for their organizations, funding, programs, and communities. Join us for a candid conversation with nonprofit leaders about the latest developments, what organizations are seeing and preparing for, the questions and concerns emerging across the sector, and how nonprofits can navigate what comes next.
Thanks to Our Partners
Presented by Nonprofit Association of Washington in partnership with the National Council of Nonprofits.

Over the past two decades, Christine has worked across sectors to advance environmental quality, sustainability and inclusion: from leading local government climate and resource initiatives to strengthening organizational cultures that serve historically excluded communities.

At EarthCorps, Christine is focused on listening deeply, rebuilding relationships, and strengthening the foundation needed for long-term impact. She is committed to nurturing a new generation of environmental leaders who are skilled in ecosystem science and implementation, and reflective of the cultural and racial diversity of the communities most affected. This includes stewarding work like EarthCorps’ tree replanting efforts, which not only restore native habitats but also contribute to long-term carbon sequestration and our region’s climate resilience.
Outside of work, you can find her dancing, hiking, playing pickleball, or soaking up the sun at parks, beaches, and concerts with her kids.
