Foundations in America face increasing scrutiny and potential attacks that could undermine their role in supporting nonprofit organizations crucial for community services. Nonprofits address vital needs such as education, healthcare, and legal aid, relying on foundation resources to function. The article emphasizes the urgent need for the philanthropic community to respond collectively to these threats and defend the freedom to give. Historical parallels are drawn to past instances of oversight used to silence nonprofit sectors, highlighting the potential dangers if proactive measures are not taken.
Nonprofits promote economic opportunity, invest in education, foster healthy communities, support scientific research, and protect the rights of vulnerable people.
The onslaught of executive orders; revenue and funding freezes; and investigations against universities, law firms, and businesses demonstrate a pattern of attacks foundations may see next.
Our response must be united to defend our freedom to support the millions who rely on charitable foundations to build stronger communities.
