No More Funding for NPR Act of 2025

This bill would stop all federal money from going to National Public Radio (NPR) or any group that replaces it. It also takes back unspent federal funds that would have gone to NPR in 2025 and 2026. Public radio stations would not be allowed to use federal funds to pay NPR dues or buy NPR programs. The only exception is during active disaster responses, when federal money could be used to share urgent safety information with the public .

Key points:

• Who is affected: NPR, any successor organization, and public radio stations that use federal funds; listeners may notice changes in available NPR programming on stations that rely on federal money .
• What changes: No federal funds for NPR; unspent funds for 2025–2026 are canceled; limited exception for disaster-related public safety messages.
• When: The ban starts after the bill becomes law.
