Format: Virtual
Date: Friday, June 27, 2025

Strategic Implications for Grantmakers:
As Congress finalizes federal budget decisions, proposed cuts to programs including SNAP, Medicaid, health and mental health supports, housing assistance, child and afterschool care, arts, culture and recreational/outdoor assets will create significant shifts in demand for philanthropic support.
Federal funding reductions will affect not only direct service organizations but also the broader nonprofit ecosystem that supports Georgia's cultural assets, tourism economy, and community infrastructure. Understanding these systemic changes is essential for informed philanthropic decision-making and strategic resource allocation.
