So, insular area Delegates were concerned to learn that the Office of Insular Affairs at the Department of Interior has notified the Close Up Foundation that it will need to compete for federal grant funds this year. This is a change from what the Department proposed in its budget justification submitted to Congress earlier this year. In response, insular area Delegates have requested that the Department reconsider its action and maintain funding for Close Up at the $1.1 million amount specified to Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
