Federal funding cuts have led to significant disruptions for nonprofits in San Francisco, particularly affecting programs for immigrant children and services for the homeless. Arts and culture organizations are especially hard hit as the National Endowment for the Arts cancelled numerous grants. Nonprofits are seeking donor support, yet experts indicate that private foundations cannot sufficiently replace government funding, emphasizing the need for government investment in these sectors for sustainability and growth.
"It doesn't matter how much money foundations like mine make available; we cannot fill that gap from the government."
"Government funding has always far outstripped philanthropy, so much so that the goal for many nonprofits is to prove their efficacy and have the government start funding them."
