President Trump's cuts to government grants are profoundly destabilizing the nonprofit sector, prompting organizations to scramble amidst uncertainty. Stacy Palmer, CEO of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, discusses the implications, highlighting a pervasive sense of anger, fear, and concern within the sector. Nonprofits face not only financial strains from the drastic budget cuts but also worries about staff safety in light of intensified targeting. Palmer's insights suggest a critical moment for philanthropy, raising questions about the social ties that traditionally unite Americans, amid a backdrop of attacks on diversity and support for equity and inclusion.
The Trump administration has targeted that aid, first announcing a full-on freeze of grants and loans in late January, later rescinded, but many subsequent cuts.
Nonprofits and foundations are mostly terrified...about the direct impact on their organizations, and there’s fear for the safety of their staffs.
