The Fight to Protect the Social Sector

The last six months have delivered a series of blows to nonprofits and foundations — steep federal funding cuts; attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; threats to organizations’ tax-exempt status; and more.

But a wide array of leaders are mobilizing to protect the social sector. They’re lawyers, grant makers, policy wonks, faith leaders, organizers, fundraisers, philanthropists, and advocates. Some turn to the courts, while others chart strategy and make the case to the public. What they have in common: a commitment to help the nonprofit world adapt, resist, and fight.
