US EditionTakeaways From AP’s Report About Cuts to Government Grants for Nonprofits
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 22 – Federal grant cuts have slashed nonprofit budgets by up to 50%, threatening vital services like housing and food assistance, according to local nonprofit leaders and researchers.
- The Trump administration froze, cut, or threatened many federal grants supporting nonprofits across the U.S. starting in January 2021.
- These actions disrupted decades of bipartisan support that funded nonprofits to deliver social services, challenging a system long reliant on public funding.
- In 2021, government grants amounted to $267 billion, and the Urban Institute’s analysis showed that a majority of nonprofits across all states relied on this funding to prevent financial shortfalls.
- Lindsey Spindle, a foundation president, said the need is “unbelievably deep and broad,” with 1,242 applications requesting over $250 million against $10 million in available awards.
- Nonprofits face drastic budget cuts of 40–50%, risking service losses, and leaders warn private donations cannot replace government funding or prevent homeless displacement.
