The Justice Department has cancelled hundreds of grants that support violence-prevention and victim-advocacy efforts, among other things. The cancellations, which come mid-funding cycle for many organizations, affect at least $180 million worth of grants. The leader of a nonprofit set to lose funding said she was baffled that support of crime victims has been deemed at odds with the administration’s priorities, while a former Biden official noted that most of the targeted organizations serve isolated or marginalized communities. A Justice Department official said that the money would be reallocated to better support Trump administration priorities, including combating violent crime, protecting victims of trafficking and sexual assault, and ‘protecting American children.’ (Washington Post)
Food and consumer goods giant Unilever is looking into grants made by the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation to a nonprofit that has been critical of the World Bank and Israel. At issue are grants the philanthropy has made to the Oakland Institute, an employee and founder of which serve as a foundation trustee. Unilever, which bought the ice cream maker in 2000, has given between $1 million and $6 million annually to the foundation, which was to maintain its independence under the terms of the deal. Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield reportedly have been seeking investors to help repurchase the company from Unilever. (Semafor)
