US EditionAlabama nonprofit art studio that celebrates the autism community hit by Trump cuts to NEA
- Several nonprofit arts and cultural organizations lost federal grants in early 2025, forcing program cuts across the country.
- These cuts followed President Trump's return in January and his administration’s shift away from supporting agencies like NEA, NEH, and IMLS, citing a 'woke agenda.'

PAMM’s Wikimedian in Residence Michaela Blanc has spent the last two years helping the museum’s digital team use Wikipedia to spotlight the work of und…
