What we know

This order renames and further empowers a previously established office that focuses on strengthening government assistance to faith-based organizations.

Formal Name

Establishment of the White House Faith Office

Formal Identifier

EO 14205

February 7, 2025

Anticipated Impact

This executive order replaces the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) with the White House Faith Office. Though largely a semantic switch, the EO does strike the referral requirements for organizations receiving federal funding. This means that if providers have religious objections to services, like reproductive care or care in the LGBTQ+ community, they are no longer obligated to refer clients to alternative options. That change could impact a myriad of programs including in the healthcare and education spaces.
