Many of San Francisco’s museums are struggling under mounting deficits, brought on by dwindling attendance, a sluggish downtown scene, and changes in philanthropic and government support. Among the more than a half-dozen arts and cultural institutions reviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle that have seen their revenues drop, the city’s Contemporary Jewish Museum announced recently that it would close for a year, coming off a roughly $5 million deficit in its last fiscal year. And while its recent attendance has ticked up, visitor numbers at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art are still below pre-pandemic levels, as the museum reported a nearly $30 million deficit and eliminated 20 positions last year.

New York’s Planned Parenthood chapter is preparing for possible cuts in aid as Republicans take over the federal government in January. The organization’s president and CEO, Wend Stark, said she is hoping that donors and the state government fill in the gaps. Planned Parenthood of Greater New York and other state health-care providers lost $14.2 million in federal aid during Donald Trump’s first administration after refusing to comply with a federal order not to mention abortion as an option to their clients. Stark said Planned Parenthood has seen a spike in demand for abortions but there’s been no wave of “rage giving” as there was after Trump’s first election and the end of Roe v. Wade. (Gothamist)
