Joining Host Jim Falk to discuss the challenges nonprofits are presently faced with, and possible solutions, is Calvert Collins-Bratton, the Chief Relationships Officer at Communities Foundation of Texas.
While most would agree that the U.S. government has grown to be too big and too expensive, the impact of the recent cuts, led largely by the DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, is creating adverse consequences for nonprofits that are being felt both globally and nationally.
Yet, one can’t help but ask, could the NGO’s, social services, museums, and universities affected not been more proactive in anticipating the cuts and been better prepared to live without such dependence on the federal government?
Here in Dallas, the Communities Foundation of Texas has a unique vantage point as the nexus, the link between our region’s charitable institutions.
While the results of a recent Harvard/Harris poll showed that three-quarters of Americans support the DOGE-led actions to reduce fraud and waste a growing number of people are expressing concern if not outright opposition to the impact these cuts are having on their libraries, parks, food banks, health care, and school programs.
Foundations and especially individuals who have traditionally been the backbone of American philanthropy are being more cautious in their giving, which may lead to changes in how and who provides services that we have perhaps taken for granted.
Join us to see how these cuts may affect you and your favorite nonprofits.
