The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to
Establish an office to focus on faith-based organizations
Let others know:
This order renames and further empowers a previously established office that focuses on strengthening government assistance to faith-based organizations.
Establishment of the White House Faith Office
EO 14205
February 7, 2025
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.
