When money is involved, fraud is a possibility. It’s one of the reasons we have so many rules, regulations, and reporting requirements surrounding grant awards: to ensure the funding is spent as intended.

But lately, it seems like this administration is weaponizing grant fraud, and in some cases, simply using it as an excuse to terminate grant programs. We’re sharing recent examples – ripped straight from the headlines.
