Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

The Trump administration has frozen nearly $66 million in federal funds for 16 family-planning agencies, including nine Planned Parenthood affiliates. The move affects services from cancer screening to birth control and leaves seven states with no funding under the federal Title X family-planning program, which primarily serves people with low incomes. The Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement it was investigating whether the grantees violated federal measures, including an executive order barring services to people in the country illegally, although proof of citizenship is not required to receive care under Title X. Alexis McGill Johnson, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said the freeze would mean “cancers go undetected, access to birth control is severely reduced, and the nation’s STI crisis worsens.” (Washington Post)

The Center for Public Integrity, a pioneer of nationwide, nonprofit investigative journalism, is shutting down after 36 years. The organization, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 2014, has endured friction among staff, managers, and board members. It has also struggled for much of its existence with dwindling budgets, ultimately cutting all of its staff in 2024. It is in talks with the nonprofit Project on Government Oversight to take over its archives. (Columbia Journalism Review)
