Public Policy
Gwinnett Coalition monitors and shares the latest news, resources, calls to action, and background on decisions impacting nonprofits. We provide space for organizations serving Gwinnett County to stay informed by providing easy access to timely information and resources.
The work of nonprofits spans a wide range of community issues, and executive orders (EO) have the potential to impact funding as well as general operations of critical community service. The implications of EOs vary greatly and some organizations are challenging them in court.
Nonprofits with federal grants and contracts should review their programs and contract language immediately as it pertains the various EOs and contact grant officers or program representatives with any questions.
Sign up for Gwinnett Coalition communications to “stay in the know” and receive the latest news and resources.
