Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Nonprofits in Oregon are gutting their operations and struggling to survive as pandemic aid dries up, donations decline, government grants are delayed, and inflation increases their costs. Many have laid off staff and moved out of buildings they could no longer afford, while others struggle to hire critical employees because they cannot compete with the private sector on wages or working conditions. (Oregon Public Broadcasting)

Background from the Chronicle: Where Did the Funding Go?

Melinda French Gates is putting $150 million into efforts to help advance women in the workplace. One-third of that money will focus on opening up the tech and A.I. industries, which are still overwhelmingly male-dominated. This outlay, one tranche of the $1 billion that French Gates has pledged to women’s and family issues through 2026, comes as organizations are under pressure from conservatives to kill their diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. (Axios)
