"Three executive orders in particular, signed by Trump on days one and two of his second term, sought to end the 'federal funding of gender ideology' and to terminate federal grants related to DEI. For the SF AIDS Foundation, which works on HIV prevention and LGBTQ+ health, that put $2 million at risk for 2025-2026, according to court filings."
"'We're living in kind of this constant state of feeling like the funding, which means staff, which means life saving programs, would need to be stopped in their tracks,' said Lance Toma, CEO of the San Francisco Community Health Center, which joined the foundation's lawsuit."
"'That uncertainty-along with a blizzard of lawsuits to fight the administration's efforts-have shaped the past year for many nonprofits serving San Francisco's transgender community.'"
In January 2025, President Trump signed executive orders aimed at ending federal funding for gender ideology and terminating grants related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This jeopardized $2 million in funding for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. The foundation and other organizations sued the administration, achieving a temporary funding restoration, but the government's appeal left future funding uncertain. Nonprofits report increased demand for services amid a projected $800 million budget deficit, leading to anxiety about potential program shutdowns.
