Webinar

Presented by CalNonprofits

 

Open and free for all

As the Trump Administration continues to reduce, freeze, and redirect federal funding, nonprofit leaders face growing uncertainty about the future of critical programs and services. Organizations across California are grappling with questions about potential funding losses, increased demand for services, shifting federal priorities, and how best to prepare for what may come next.

 

Join CalNonprofits for a timely discussion on the current federal funding landscape and practical strategies nonprofits can use to assess risk, strengthen organizational resilience, and navigate uncertainty. Hear from national nonprofit advocates, California policy experts, and nonprofit leaders about what funding changes are occurring, which organizations may be most affected, and what steps nonprofit leaders and boards should take now to protect their missions and communities.

 

In this webinar, you will learn:

  •  The latest developments affecting federal funding for nonprofits
  •  Which nonprofit sectors and funding streams may be most vulnerable to cuts or restructuring
  •  How to assess your organization’s exposure to federal funding changes
  •  Strategies for contingency planning and organizational resilience
  •  The role boards and executive leaders should play during periods of uncertainty
  •  Opportunities for advocacy and collective action to protect nonprofit services

 

Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A session with experts who are tracking federal policy developments and helping nonprofits navigate this rapidly changing environment.
