This decision aims to ensure that all applicants comply with the President’s Executive Orders, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to the responsible use of taxpayer funds. The DFC Grants are awarded annually to youth coalition organizations dedicated to preventing drug use among young people across the United States.

By recompeting these grants, the ONDCP seeks to safeguard American taxpayer dollars and ensure that funding supports initiatives genuinely focused on protecting youth from drugs. The administration emphasizes careful oversight and diligence in fund allocation, highlighting a commitment to advancing its policy agenda. The ONDCP aims to prevent the misuse of taxpayer dollars for political agendas that do not align with its mission.

The funding for these awards remains available, and the ONDCP will work to allocate it responsibly. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that community organizations receiving support effectively contribute to combating youth drug use. Overall, the recompeting of the DFC Grants reflects a strategic approach to funding that prioritizes compliance and accountability in the use of federal resources.
