Non-Profits Under Pressure

Key tactics include federal funding cuts, freezes, and threats to their tax-exempt status. Use the tools below to filter the list of affected organizations and categories.

Cross-Cutting Themes & Strategic Analysis

The administration's actions are not random; they follow a consistent pattern driven by a clear ideological agenda. The primary goal is to compel alignment with its views on issues like DEI, immigration, and curriculum. This is achieved by weaponizing the financial and regulatory powers of the federal government. The diagram below illustrates the strategic flow from ideology to impact.

Enforce Ideological Alignment
Reduce Institutional Autonomy
Erode Public Trust & Support

This strategic approach has led to numerous lawsuits and widespread concern over due process. The judiciary has, in some cases, acted as a check on executive power, but the ongoing pressure creates significant financial strain and legal uncertainty for the targeted institutions, forcing them to divert resources from their core missions to legal defense and compliance.
