Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Facing the end of pandemic aid and other expected cuts, New Mexico Legal Aid plans to lay off about 20 percent of its 120 staff members. The nonprofit received $1 million from the American Rescue Plan Act, which ended in December. Combined with other losses, it is “bracing for a 17 percent budget cut next year, from about $15 million in 2024 to $12.5 million in 2025.” From Jan. 1 through Nov. 21 last year, Legal Aid “represented more than 1,500 victims of domestic violence, about 2,200 disabled people, and 803 seniors.” (Albuquerque Journal)

Background from the Chronicle: Where Did the Funding Go?

In their quest to expand their audience while bringing in more revenue, museums are turning all the knobs, including raising or canceling admission fees and offering a wide range of amenities. Some institutions, such as the Dallas Museum of Art, that hoped to make up for free admissions in other visitor spending have been disappointed and are leaning more on donor support. Meanwhile, many museums are going beyond restaurants and gift shops to offer classes, event spaces, and performances in the hopes of becoming community gathering spaces. (Observer)
