'The Department of Justice (DOJ) has cut hundreds of grants for programs it believes do not advance the agency’s mission, including awards focusing on “racial equity” and “toxic” masculinity.

As part of its effort to slash funding out-of-step with the Trump administration’s agenda, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut over 360 grants, according to an agency official.

One $2 million grant was awarded in 2022 for a “feminist, culturally specific nonprofit organization” to address “structural racism and toxic masculinities.” Another $5 million grant went to a group that promotes “racial equity in victim services” to conduct “listening sessions in targeted communities.”'
