Chronicle Editor-in-Chief Andrew Simon led a reporters’ roundtable on what the second Trump administration means for the nonprofit sector. Our reporters opened their notebooks and shared the latest on topics including threats to federal funding and DEI efforts; how foundations are responding to the administration’s moves; the role lobbying and advocacy can play right now; and how leaders are navigating the uncertain fundraising environment.

Chronicle reporters shared what they’re hearing from nonprofit and foundation leaders in this chaotic moment; insights into how organizations are shifting strategies; and tips on securing funding, if federal grants dry up.
