The MacArthur Foundation and Marguerite Casey Foundation are increasing their charitable payouts to support nonprofits facing challenges under the Trump administration. These philanthropic organizations are reacting to federal funding instability by committing more resources. Deepak Bhargava of the Freedom Together Foundation emphasizes the need for courage in activism, drawing parallels with historic movements. Despite this increased support, there are concerns about whether philanthropy can fully compensate for the loss of federal resources, as many nonprofits continue to call for more assistance in navigating these obstacles.
"The movement made a way out of no way. That can happen again, as it has so many times throughout American history."
"Courage is contagious."
While those closest to the philanthropic sector agree that more support is needed, they also understand that it will be hard for the philanthropic sector to completely make up for the lack of federal resources.
Philanthropic organizations have responded with urgency to support nonprofits navigate the new reality of unreliable federal funding.
