The Cost of Cuts: Navigating Reduced Federal Funding

Federal funding cuts are reshaping the landscape for nonprofits across San Antonio, forcing organizations to make difficult decisions about programs, staffing, and long‑term sustainability. This panel brings together grant professionals and nonprofit leaders to unpack the real‑world impact of these reductions, from shrinking budgets and delayed reimbursements to increased demand for services with fewer resources. Panelists will share how their organizations are adapting, what strategies are helping them stay resilient, and where collaboration, advocacy, and diversified revenue can help protect the community’s most essential programs.
