Take a moment to sign your name to the petition!

Local organizing stopped a major fossil-fuel project in Virginia—for now. Help make sure federal regulators do not revive it. Sign the letter to reject the MVP Boost!

From a member group:

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has published an Environmental Assessment (EA) Report that assesses the impacts the MVP Boost project would have on soils, geology, water resources, vegetation, wildlife, cultural resources, land use, noise, and air quality.

The deadline for public comments on the EA is September 8th at 5PM EST. We don't have much time to make our voices heard about this dangerous project.

Join us August 27th from 7-8 PM to learn how you can share your concerns about MVP Boost! We will share toolkits and instructions for submitting comments to FERC.

On May 29, 2026, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposed sweeping changes to overhaul federal grantmaking. See NCN's chart of key provisions for more details.

The National Council of Nonprofits opposes the proposed changes, which would create significant financial risks and instability for nonprofit grantees, jeopardizing community access to critical services. Ultimately, the proposed rule will harm the people and communities that rely on nonprofits and other federal grantees, and the essential services they provide.

Share a message with your members of Congress. Take further action by (1) signing a national letter, and (2) using NCN’s comment guide to submit a public comment in opposition to the proposal by July 13.

Contact your representative with this action alert by the National Council of Nonprofits here.
