Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Public broadcasting has long been a target of the GOP, for fiscal or ideological reasons, but until recently, it enjoyed support from some Republican members of Congress from rural districts. With President Trump urging lawmakers to strip NPR and PBS of $1.1 billion in funding, that support appears to have dried up, and public opinion is now split largely along partisan lines. As a result, the services are more vulnerable than ever, with rural broadcasting — where residents have fewer alternatives — particularly at risk. (Washington Post)

As many large corporations end their sponsorships of Pride festivities this year, some organizers are turning to small local businesses for support. The pull-back of major sponsors has left some festivals with six- and seven-figure shortfalls, some of which have been largely filled by Main Street businesses. The shift is a return to the early Pride marches, which started in 1970 with local backers and attracted national donors only in the late 1980s and 1990s, when corporations sought to tap into the buying power of the LGBTQ community.
