DC’s Boys and Girls Club Fights to Regain Funding

MULTIPLE U.S. LOCATIONS INCLUDING MID-MISSOURI AND CINCINNATI, JUL 8 – The U.S. Department of Education froze over $6 billion in grants, risking program closures and layoffs while more than 200,000 children nationwide face service disruptions.

  • Over $6 billion in federal education grant funds remain on hold as of June 30, 2025, pending a review of the fiscal year 2025 allocations.
  • The pause comes as the current administration opts to reexamine the grant allocations to confirm they align with the president's priorities, despite Congress having approved the funding earlier this year.
  • The withheld grants support various services including after-school programs, summer school, and literacy support, which serve thousands of students across districts like Mason City Schools and Cincinnati Public Schools.
  • Kimberly Scott, coordinator of Youth at Heart, expressed deep concern over the program's future amid uncertain funding, describing the situation as both heartbreaking and difficult when considering how to communicate the impact to the families involved.
  • Districts are reviewing expenditures and advocating for timely fund release to maintain student support, while the Department affirms commitment to spending resources per statutory responsibilities.
