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.
The No GRIFT Act of 2026 would prohibit nonprofit organizations from receiving Department of Justice grants if they meet two conditions: they derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from DOJ grants and they pay any officer or employee a salary exceeding what the Attorney General is authorized to earn. The bill targets nonprofits that are tax-exempt under federal law and would require organizations applying for DOJ grants to certify they do not meet these disqualifying criteria. The legislation contains no specified funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond requiring compliance in the fiscal year following passage. This bill would primarily affect nonprofit organizations that are heavily dependent on federal grants while paying executive-level compensation above the Attorney General's salary threshold.
