Many arts groups in underserved communities relied on now-rescinded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to make up a large chunk of their budgets. They also served vital functions that will not be taken on by larger, better-funded organizations. An arts center on a poor reservation in South Dakota paid artisans to teach its young people, who have a high suicide rate; a mid-Autumn festival for Asian Americans in Philadelphia gave performers a showcase they are not likely to find on a mainstream stage. Many groups had projects already underway. Some have appealed the terminations, while others are looking for alternative sources of funding, but most will have to devise new long-term plans.

A venerable national sorority is waging a careful campaign to support a nonprofit that has suffered a major funding cut under the Trump administration. Kappa Alpha Theta is a longtime supporter of CASA/GAL, which advocates for abused or neglected children in the court system. The nonprofit has lost about $16 million, amounting to 70 percent of its funding for local programs. While trying to remain outside the political fray, the sorority put out an unusual call to action, urging its members “to contact local representatives and ask them to ‘immediately inquire’ about CASA/GAL funding.” And in an exception to their usual approach to anything political, some chapters have issued statements on the cuts.
