The Trump administration’s order to freeze federal grants threatens to undermine the essential health and safety of the communities nonprofits work tirelessly to support. While the full scope of its intended impact is still unfolding, it’s clear this order jeopardizes vital services and sets the stage for inevitable battles ahead. Nonprofits, already on the front lines of community support, now face increased uncertainty and barriers that make their lifesaving work even harder. Governments at every level need nonprofits as partners on the front lines of community support. We urge the administration and policymakers to work with the charitable sector to ensure that all Americans’ needs are met. Independent Sector remains committed to advocating for policies that empower the charitable sector to continue its vital work to help communities thrive.
