Please share this helpful guide far and wide with the link to a page where National Council of Nonprofits provides ongoing updates to 47’s firehose of EOs 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUScQdiY (Hoping they cover the State Department’s awful and devestating Stop Work and sudden cease of foriegn aid order in the next edition)
What do Trump's Executive Orders mean for nonprofits? There's lots of noise — and not yet a lot of clarity — around the new administration's first Executive Orders. At the same time, there's understandable reason for alarm about the potential impacts on many members of our communities, from LGBTQ+ people to our immigrant neighbors. National Council of Nonprofits put together this helpful chart tracking the EOs that may affect nonprofits, and their potential impact. As you'll see, there's still many questions, but if your organization is engaging with DEI programs, government grants & contracts, civic engagement, immigration, or other subsectors — definitely worth a bookmark (link in comments) as they'll continue to update the document as a resource.

Here's a resource to help navigate the changing landscape of US foreign aid. NGOs and civil society actors affected by or fearing the suspension or termination of US foreign assistance can use this information to advocate for their missions, build stronger coalitions, and convince funders to prioritise human rights and democracy. It is also the time for philanthropy to step up, protect vital programs, and ensure continued support for human rights & democracy globally. #philanthropy #globalgood #impactinvesting

As allies, advocates, philanthropists and corporations celebrate #Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ month, it’s important to lift up the intersectional nature of the #LGBTQ community. Queer people are not only Black, brown, white, AANHPI, Gen Z, old, wealthy, or under resourced. Millions of LGBTQ people also live with disabilities (both visible and invisible) — and instead of overlooking disabled people, let’s make an effort to elevate and equalize by: 1) Donating to organizations that work within the community 2) Intentionally including disabled people in your Pride marketing campaigns 3) Centering disabled queer voices in your messaging this month…and all year long. #DEI / #ESG / #Media / #ERG / #Marketing folks: If you are looking for a great grassroots organization to support and partner with, check out Arkansas Support Network (ASN). It’s an amazing non-profit in the mid-South empowering close to a thousand people in the disabled community with the ability to make decisions and direct their lives — including those who are LGBTQ 🏳️🌈. Their work is making a difference on a local, regional, and national level. If you want more info on the org, would like to become a partner, or make a Pride donation that will truly make a difference, connect with ASN CEO, Dr. Syard Evans. (Also an acclaimed speaker on disability inclusion…you’ll be glad you invited her to your corporate or policy event).

Helping women and LGBTQ+ changemakers to look good while being inclusive and accessible | Founder @ Studio Lutalica | Fractional Creative Consultant | British Creative Businesswoman of the Year
🌈 I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month 😮💨 I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated — and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. 💔 It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. 💪 We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. 👉 Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ✨ Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think.

📣 This is a BIG one folks - we need your help!

Our goal is to provide these essential tools to those who need them most but can’t afford them. Your support can make a real difference. By donating, you’re helping us amplify the voices of those fighting for equality and justice. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world.

There is a good explanation of Trump`s Executive Orders... 🙄 "Recent changes in U.S. policy, particularly under Trump's Executive Order, have had significant ripple effects on INGOs and NGOs worldwide—including here in Mongolia. As organizations navigating these uncertainties, we now find ourselves in a position of waiting, reflecting, and adapting. The resilience of our mission remains our focus, but these shifts highlight the interconnectedness of global decisions and local impacts. 🌏 #GlobalImpact #NGOs #Mongolia"

How will these Executive Orders affect your non-profit and how do you plan to adapt, now or in the future?
