Podcasts about government funding

In this episode, we break down the REAL story behind the 43-day government shutdown—what caused it, why it dragged on, and what the new January 30th deadline means for every American. From IRS delays to furloughed workers, political gridlock, filibuster battles, and the financial ripple effects across the country, we dig into the facts and the frustration surrounding the shutdown.We also highlight how everyday citizens are impacted, why leadership continues to fail, and what needs to change before the next deadline hits. If you're interested in money, motivation, and major events shaping our lives, this episode delivers clarity and perspective.

It's been a big week on Capitol Hill for congressional appropriators. To reopen the government, the Senate has passed a legislative package that includes multiple appropriations bills and a continuing resolution to fund all other parts of the government. As the bill now heads to the House, our team discusses the content of the legislation and what the government funding process looks like moving forward.

US President Trump signed the government funding bill and announced an end to the government shutdown after the House voted to approve the bill, while Trump said the government will resume normal operations and reiterated a call for money to be paid to people directly to buy healthcare.White House Press Secretary Leavitt said the October CPI and jobs data is likely to never be released, while it was separately reported that there was no official word from BLS on plans for October data.US officials flagged they will reduce tariffs on popular groceries, as pressure mounts to address the cost-of-living crisis, according to FT.APAC stocks followed suit to the mixed performance in the US, with little fresh catalysts as the government shutdown ended.European equity futures indicate a positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.4% after the cash market closed with gains of 1.1% on Wednesday.Looking ahead, highlights include UK GDP (Sep/Q3), EZ Industrial Production (Sep), US Cleveland Fed (Oct), New Zealand Manufacturing PMI (Nov), IEA OMR, BoE Minutes of the Market Participants Group Meeting, Speakers including BoE's Greene, Fed's Daly, Kashkari, Musalem & Hammack, ECB's Elderson, SNB's Tschudin & Moser, Supply from Italy & US, Earnings from Zealand Pharma, B&M European, Burberry, Siemens, Sabadell, Applied Materials, Disney, JD com & Bilibili.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Federal shutdown over! Systems rebooting! Nonprofits on the clock! In this urgent episode, we bring back Derick Dreher, Department Leader, Government Funding at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC)—just hours after the government reopens from the longest shutdown in U.S. history.Derick starts with what happened in Washington: failed Senate votes, a last-minute continuing resolution, and a deal that funds government operations into January while restoring budgets for agencies like USDA and programs such as SNAP. But this is not just a civics lesson; it's a compliance wake-up call for every nonprofit with federal awards.Even though agencies were closed and portals were offline, he reminds viewers that obligations never went away. As Derick puts it, “It's a challenge, but you still have to do it.” Reports due during the shutdown are still due. If a federal portal was off, organizations should have emailed, mailed certified copies, and documented every step. That paper trail may be the difference between a simple explanation and a “you're in breach” notice now that systems are back up.Derick explains that rules are shifting at the same time pressure is rising. An August executive order on federal grantmaking is reshaping Uniform Guidance and, in some cases, contradicting existing regulations. Nonprofits cannot simply move programs from October to November or rework budgets on their own. Any change—timelines, program design, vendors—requires permission.The human side of this story is just as urgent. Federal employees returning from 43 days of furlough are staring at thousands of unread messages, while agencies are already dealing with staffing shortages. Automated payments and notices may resume quickly, but nuanced approvals, extensions, and clarifications will take time. That means nonprofits must expect delays while still operating at peak year-end demand and navigating food insecurity, SNAP disruption, and stretched donors.Derick calls on leaders to treat this as a mini audit moment: review every award, update budgets and reports, clarify what did and didn't happen during the shutdown, and then proactively request extensions and changes. “Federal awards are complicated beasts that have a lot of details and a lot of moving parts, and there's no reason to be afraid of accepting them,” he says—if leaders build strong internal controls for timesheets, receipts, and documentation.Above all, think of this as a reframe of the relationship with government funders: not as begging with an outstretched hand, but as a handshake partnership where authenticity, preparation, and transparency show you are leading with excellence. Get organized now, communicate wisely, and you can turn this chaotic shutdown into a proving ground for your nonprofit's strength and mission focus.#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #GovernmentGrantsFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Illinois Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski explains why she voted 'no' on bills to continue government funding and re-open the government. She acknowledges that the 'pain was very real' during the shutdown for many of her constituents, several thousand were government employees.

CBS News Washington Correspondent, Major Garrett, says there are still hurdles to get over despite the signing of a short-term funding bill this week. He says there is 'quite a bit of uncertainty between now and January 1st.' 'Both sides are being blamed equally for the shutdown,' Garrett tells Chris and Amy.

Dame Ottoline Leyser, former chief executive of UKRI and chair of the advisory board of Innovate Cambridge, discusses the research and business success from the University of Cambridge and how that can be applied throughout the country, government plans to support a global Oxford-Cambridge tech hub and the power of local pride in growing new tech clusters. Leyser was appointed as the head of UK Research and Innovation, the public body which directs government funding to science and technological enterprises, in 2020. 

Marc Cox talks with Fox News Radio's Ryan Schmelz about the latest temporary deal to avoid a government shutdown, extending funding into late January and keeping some agencies funded into the next fiscal year. They also discuss the political battle over Affordable Care Act tax credits, subsidy negotiations, and what could spark another shutdown.

In Hour 4, Marc Cox is joined by Fox News Radio's Ryan Schmelz to break down the latest government funding deal, the battle over Affordable Care Act subsidies, and whether another shutdown could still happen. Tom Ackerman stops by with the latest sports headlines, including President Trump attending an NFL game, college football talk, and a strong start to the college basketball season.

4. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. The discussion critiques the indiscriminate government funding of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), which subsidized well-endowed institutions and missed future innovators, thereby slowing the natural process of working out what is "good and what's bad." Government lending programs inevitably come with strings attached and impair credit. John Tamny suggests that individuals possess a protected "right to contract" and work, regardless of state mandates, citing Lochner v. New York. Ultimately, the sources stress that economic growth and freedom are the strongest defenses against disease, highlighted by the rapid success of private enterprise (like Pfizer) in vaccine development. Freedom must be the readymade answer to future pandemics. 1918 Retry

Chris Gerteisen, CEO of Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA - NASDAQ:NVA - FSE:QM3), joins us to discuss the company's recent US$43.4 million U.S. government grant to fast-track antimony trisulfide production, a key component in munitions and clean-tech manufacturing, along with ongoing exploration and development at the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska. Key Discussion Points: $43.4M Government Grant: Funding supports Phase 1 antimony production and the development of an initial refinery in Alaska. Nova is already purchasing mining and processing equipment, with a target to begin production by mid-to-late next year. Two-Phase Development Plan: Phase 1 – Focused on surface extraction and smaller-scale production (hundreds of tons). Phase 2 – Expansion into a large-scale refinery at Port MacKenzie, scaling up to 5,000–10,000 tonnes of refined product annually. Strategic Infrastructure: 42-acre site at Port MacKenzie, a deep-water, year-round port with road and rail access, designed as a modular hub for future critical mineral refining. Drilling & Resource Definition: Antimony resource drilling underway with a second rig planned. Results will feed a mine plan and internal resource model to maintain the project's accelerated schedule. Gold Resource Strength: Estelle hosts a ~9.9Moz JORC resource (with ~5.2Moz SK-1300 pit-constrained at US$2,000/oz). Ongoing drilling at the RPM deposit is aimed at upgrading inferred ounces and completing an updated economic study in 2026. Dual Commodity Advantage: Parallel development of both gold and antimony provides diversification, strong leverage to current prices, and greater financial resilience. Near-Term News Flow: Antimony drill results, equipment procurement updates, processing plant construction milestones, and new gold assay results from Estelle and RPM.

For many Americans, Public Media is the home of NPR, PBS, and is synonymous with the likes of Mr. Rogers, Elmo, and Ken Burns documentaries. It is also a crucial resource for local journalism, discourse, and even emergency alerts. In July 2025, the Rescissions Act of 2025 was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump, cutting all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting-which will close its doors in January 2026. The hardest hit are smaller market, rural, and tribal stations, some of which are seeing the loss of public safety grants intended to support disaster-prone regions of the nation. What are the impacts of these cuts? And what efforts are underway to support the most at-risk public media organizations?

What if philanthropy, as we know it, is a flawed system?In this episode, we're joined by Jen Nguyen, a director at the Stupski Foundation, a unique "spend-down" organization designed to close its doors after giving away all of its assets by 2029. Jen, a former college counselor, provides an unapologetically candid look at a sector she may soon leave, revealing a rare freedom to challenge the status quo from within.We'll discuss how a "wait and see" approach to philanthropy falls short in moments of crisis, why foundations often prioritize their own survival over the needs of the communities they serve, and what it truly means to lead with a "nothing to lose" philosophy. Jen unpacks her critiques of the 5% payout rule, the "overhead" myth, and the power imbalances between funders and the organizations on the front lines.This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever wondered what a more just, trusting, and effective philanthropic sector could look like, or if the "rainy day" that so many foundations are saving for is already here. ⛈️Notable Quotes“The rainy day is here.
