For Philanthropic Advisors and DAF Professionals
Across the country, nonprofits are facing waves of large-scale funding disruptions alongside a dramatic increase in need for their services due to federal policy changes and rising costs. The media coverage is limited in scope, fragmented in topic, and often focused on a specific nonprofit or region.
To help donors stay informed on the multiple impacts on the sector, Charity Bridge is centralizing information by cause area, consolidating information on the short-term funding impacts, the areas most affected and the long-term risks of not filling those funding gaps. Our library of articles and sector economic impact summaries that our team and experts are contributing will help you get informed on the changing landscape and help you stay informed.
In real time we cover the impacts as they happen and have covered key topics such as:
Direct funding cuts in Spring 2025
Secondary “downstream” funding cuts
Frozen funds impact
Government shutdown affects
State restricted budgets
SNAP & Medicaid benefit changes
2026 government budget cuts
These are high-impact nonprofits now facing immediate funding gaps that directly affect their ability to operate.
