White House Collecting Data on Federal Funding of 49 Nonprofits

The Federal News Network reports that the Office of Management and Budget sent a memo on May 13, 2026 to executive branch agencies requiring spending data relating to 49 nonprofits. The story does not provide a link to the memo but does provide a list of the targeted nonprofits. That list includes the ACLU, the Aspen Institute, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, the Hispanic Federation, the International Rescue Committee, the Legal Aid Society, the National Urban League, the Open Society Institute, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Tides Foundation. The reports are due this Friday, May 29th. The story notes that spending information for all the organizations is already available on USAspending.gov, making it unclear why OMB is requesting this information. But the request does have some parallels with a January 2026 OMB request for spending provided to 14 Democrat-controlled states.
