Federal Budget Deal Includes Cuts to a Wide Range of Nonprofits

The federal budget cuts lawmakers agreed to last week will shave money from a wide swath of social programs, including community health-care centers, national service, energy assistance, and family planning, according to details of the deal that were released late Monday night.

The legislation, which covers spending through the fiscal year that ends on Sept. 30, is not as radical as a plan that the Republican-led House adopted in February. But few programs were spared cuts in a package that aims to slash almost $40-billion from current spending levels.
