Federal Budget and Tax Outlook & the 2025 Tax Debates

With a new President, Administration, and Congress, critical federal safety net programs that support children and families including Medicaid, SNAP, housing, and early childhood, are likely to face serious cuts this year. A high-stakes tax policy debate that includes $4 trillion in tax cuts from the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act will set the stage for reductions in health and human service programs that will impact every community in America and touch every corner of philanthropic work — early childhood, health care, state and local government services, climate change, housing, senior services, family support services, and much more.  Learn more about key battles and opportunities and what’s at stake and in play in 2025 and beyond.
