Kerry Sesil and I wrote a thing. Nonprofits--and the vulnerable communities we serve--can't wait and see for philanthropy to wait and see. "One straightforward approach would be for every funder to look at their current grantee portfolios—filled, presumably, with organizations whose work they already believe in because they’re already funding them—and identify those who have unexpectedly lost Federal funding this year and help make up that shortfall. Even better would be for funders in one area (geographically or topically) to band together and collect this information centrally to coordinate contributions that make organizations, like ours, whole so that we don’t have to interrupt our services to vulnerable communities, yet."
