Funders Favor Shiny New Projects, Leaving Nonprofits in Crisis

In todays philanthropy landscape, funders are heavily investing in new projects and pilot programs, often neglecting the essential operational needs of nonprofits. Groups like Abused Women’s Aid in Crisis in Anchorage, which run emergency shelters for domestic violence survivors, face significant challenges due to this trend. They require ongoing support for basics like utilities, groceries, staff training, and regulatory compliance. However, many grant rules prohibit ongoing support, forcing these organizations to cut services when priorities change. This shift in funding trends threatens the stability of core safety nets, as true sustainability demands backing stable infrastructure.
