On January 7, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order establishing the White House Faith Office (the “Office”). The White House has published a fact sheet accompanying the Executive Order, which, among other things, identifies the following items the Office will focus on:
- Empowering faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship to better serve families and communities.
- As a part of the Domestic Policy Council, consulting with experts in the faith community and making recommendations to the President with respect to changes to policies, programs, and practices to better align with American values.
- Coordinating with agencies on religious liberty training and identifying and promoting grant opportunities for nonprofit faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship.
- Collaborating with the Attorney General to identify failures to enforce constitutional and Federal statutory protections for religious liberty.
