Changes at the national level can have big rippling effects.
As President Donald Trump’s administration works to shrink the federal government, I’m reporting on how federal funding cuts could impact and are impacting local organizations providing services to people in Milwaukee.
I need your input to get a full picture.
Your experience could take many different forms. Do you work at a local organization or business that is facing uncertainty about its budget because of federal grant funding? Do you use a program in Milwaukee that won’t be getting funding? Has your government job changed?
If you live in Milwaukee and have been directly or indirectly impacted by federal funding cuts, please reach out here.
Thank you for sharing and helping us understand how federal funding changes are affecting Milwaukee’s neighborhoods.
