Brie Franklin, executive director of the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault, describes the impact of a federal funding freeze on her nonprofit. The organization, heavily reliant on federal grants for over 90% of its income, is facing stress and uncertainty after the White House ordered a funding freeze. Although a federal judge has temporarily blocked this freeze, the organization is unsure of its future and how to effectively plan. The funding freeze has halted the application process for grants, creating further complications for planning and resource allocation in their critical support for sexual violence survivors.
As a small nonprofit, we're highly reliant on federal funding, which makes the uncertainty we face extremely stressful for our staff and the survivors we support.
Federal grants constitute over 90% of our income. With the funding freeze, we are in a position where we don’t know how to plan for the future.
