No GRIFT Act of 2026 No Granting Riches Intended for Taxpayers...
To provide that a nonprofit organization that receives more than 50 percent of its revenue from grants awarded by the Department of Justice, and compensated an officer or employee in an amount that exceeds the annual salary authorized to be paid to the Attorney General, is ineligible to receive a Department of Justice grant, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes a rule that would make certain nonprofit organizations ineligible for grants from the Department of Justice (DOJ). Specifically, any nonprofit that gets more than half of its income from DOJ grants and pays an officer or employee more than the Attorney General's annual salary would not be able to receive these grants.
The bill would affect nonprofits that rely heavily on DOJ funding and those that pay high salaries to their staff. By setting a salary cap, the bill aims to ensure that DOJ grants are used effectively and not for excessive compensation.
As of July 16, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It is still in the early stages of the legislative process, with no further actions taken yet.
