## What this funds

Take Pride in America Gifts and Bequests Public Law 101-628 established the Gifts and Bequest trust fund account for the Take Pride in America program within the Department of the Interior. The purpose of this program is to encourage public awareness, stewardship, and conservation of public lands, facilities, and resources. The Secretary may Office of the Secretary FY 2027 Budget Justification Public Law 118-42 established the Department of the Interior Nonrecurring Expenses Fund (NEF) for information and business technology system modernization and facilities infrastructure improvements and associated administrative expenses, including nonrecurring maintenance, necessary for the operation of the Department or its bureaus. Similar to NEFs established in the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture and Commerce, this Fund will allow the Department to transfer unobligated balances of expired discretionary funds appropriated for Fiscal Year 2024 and subsequent years, no later than the fifth fiscal year after the last fiscal year of availability, to the NEF to become available for use as no-year funds to support specific purposes. The NEF will provide funding for critical infrastructure projects that may require significant one-time investments such as information technology modernization projects. These requirements often do not coincide with the timing of the budget formulation process and are difficult to forecast. In many cases, these costs either cannot be accommodated within existing funds or are emergency requirements that would otherwise require the Department to reprogram existing funds
