Nonprofits in the Trump Era

This report examines how nonprofit organizations are navigating significant funding challenges and legal risks under the Trump administration’s 2025 policies. With executive orders restricting DEI-related programs and broad freezes on federal grants, many nonprofits face potential loss of vital funding. The guide outlines steps to safeguard contracts, manage legal risk, and respond to grant terminations. It also highlights alternative funding strategies—such as partnerships, endowment flexibility, and donor engagement—to sustain operations. Additional Seramount resources offer ongoing guidance for nonprofits managing compliance and stability amid federal policy changes.
