Will provide instead of is providing

Hi,

If “will provide” is used instead of “is providing” in the following sentence, will it mean exactly the same thing. Thank you.

The U.S. government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing Php 53 million ($900,000) for the second phase of an information management system project to enhance the Philippines’ capacity to identify disaster risks and support disaster response operations.
