Government Affairs Digest: What Nonprofits Need to Know (Part 4)
February 19, 2025 - This content will be updated as developments unfold.
“2025 has felt eerily similar to 2020—only more divided and chaotic. With government funding reductions and broader challenges facing nonprofits, especially those rooted in DEI-focused work, I found myself instinctively reaching out to fellow nonprofit leaders just to check in. But it quickly became clear that we all needed more. Purpose Possible has positioned itself as a trusted industry leader, resource, and advocate, so it was no surprise that Susannah and Laura helped turn that need for “more” into a truly impactful conversation. There’s an energy and urgency here that I hope we all carry forward—not just to keep the conversations going, but to take action through strategy, collaboration/unity, and accountability.”
Executive Exchange:
On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, in response to Kate’s timely suggestion, Purpose Possible gathered nonprofit leaders from across Metro Atlanta to share and strategize. The attendees represented a cross-section of the sector, including the smallest and largest organizations in our region, as well as a variety of sub-sectors such as housing, homelessness, and youth development. The conversations were candid and thoughtful, and everyone agreed they were much-needed.
