"And precisely when it is most needed, philanthropy is failing to meet the moment—not because it lacks money, but because it lacks courage." #npsky #nonprofitsky

Philanthropy Must Choose Courage Over Caution
Abigail Disney and Carolina García Jayaram argue that funders can be a stabilizing force in a time of civic uncertainty.

The pressure is intensifying. Demand for nonprofit services continues to rise. Funding feels uncertain. Teams are stretched thin... The gap between how essential nonprofits are in practice and how they are treated in theory is widening–and that gap is no longer sustainable. #npsky

The Nonprofit Sector Is At An Inflection Point. 2026 Is The Test.
Nonprofits are carrying more than ever. 2026 will test whether funders, leaders, and systems align support with the sector’s growing role.

"...principle matters when policies threaten to hollow out the very programs that keep communities afloat. As multiple recent studies have shown, the need for the sector’s services has increased of late and it is strongly anticipated it will continue doing so." thenonprofittimes.com/npt_articles...

Feeding America @feedingamerica.org · 01/10/2025
Many people in America are a single missed paycheck away from needing support from their local food banks. A prolonged shutdown will deepen the strain. 📰 Read our full statement: bit.ly/4gMi1hb
Quote from Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. When the federal government shuts down, uncertainty begins immediately. Families, federal workers—including active-duty military—people who work for federal contractors and seniors suddenly face impossible choices not knowing if paychecks or food benefits will arrive on time.

One of the federal programs that will be harmed shortly after the shutdown begins, is Women, Infants and Children (WIC). WIC, a signature nutrition program that serves 6.5 million low-income moms and babies. www.councilofnonprofits.org/pressrelease... #nonprofits #governmentshutdown

USDA cancels survey tracking how many Americans struggle to get enough food
The Department of Agriculture said it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey. Experts say the move will obscure the effects of recent changes that will lead to people losing food aid.

On one hand, attack the Johnson Amendment and on the other there's a directive to the Attorney General to investigate whether federal grant funds are being used to illegally support lobbying activities? Which hand should we be watching in this slight of hand game. #nonprofitsky #nonprofits

More often than not, I've been feeling like: 'WHAT IS IT ALL FOR?' It's a defeatist attitude that I don't care for... the fact that I'm not alone in feeling this way helps. Thanks @nonprofitaf.bsky.social.

🚨 STATEMENT on Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness. Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale 🔽
A graphic with a blue-tinted monochrome photo background showing Donald Trump speaking at a White House press podium bearing the presidential seal, flanked by Pete Hegseth to his left and Pam Bondi to his right, and U.S. flags behind; overlaid white text reads:
Statement: Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness.
In the lower-right corner, a small logo reads: Alliance for Housing Justice.STATEMENT: Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness. 

On Sunday, President Trump posted a horrifying screed announcing plans to force all of D.C.’s unhoused residents to “move out, IMMEDIATELY” & send them “FAR from the Capital.” 

W/ HUD reporting a national record of 771,480 people unhoused on a single night last year—including 5,616 unhoused people in D.C., over 80% of whom were Black—vilifying & rounding up our cities’ most vulnerable is racist, cruel, irrational & dangerous.

If the goal is to solve homelessness, forced mass displacement & criminalization do the opposite: they deepen trauma, erect barriers to housing & work, worsen racial disparities, and put women, people w/ disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, & other underserved groups at greater risk.

Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale: build & preserve social & public housing; expand permanent supportive housing & services; & enact strong tenant protections so residents aren’t pushed into homelessness in the 1st place

Researching the Johnson Amendment and coming to an understanding of what the religious broadcasters are demanding makes me want to scream. I did, in fact, scream. #johnsonamendment #protectnonprofitintegrity #taxchurches

Big changes to federal grant rules. A new EO gives political appointees more power over approvals, oversight & early terminations — plus possible cuts to indirect cost recovery. Nonprofits: know what’s at stake. Learn more-->> #Nonprofits #FederalGrants #Advocacy
