Federal funding cuts and increased demand for their services have left nonprofits across the country and issue areas reeling — with many questioning whether they will survive. The consequences are stark, given the vital work nonprofits do in communities across the country.
To help nonprofits navigate this challenging time, we here at ”Nonprofits Now” would like to share this podcast episode by our friends at the Center for Effective Philanthropy. Their podcast, ”Giving Done Right,” offers essential guidance to donors contributing everything from small sums to major gifts.
In this episode, CEP Vice President of Research Elisha Smith Arrillaga shares just-collected data on what nonprofits are experiencing. In conversation with ”Giving Done Right” host and CEP President Phil Buchanan, Smith Arrillaga shares insights into which nonprofits have been hardest hit and what steps they're taking to respond. She also talks with Buchanan about data on the foundation response to the situation and argues that the existential challenges nonprofits are facing require bold, values-driven responses from donors.
