Nonprofits strategize in response to potential White House backlash


April 22, 2025

As the White House signals potential executive orders targeting nonprofits, organizations across the U.S. are preparing a unified response. According to NPR, the orders could allow the government to audit nonprofits, particularly those involved in immigrant legal services and environmental work, and possibly seize their assets. Nonprofits are already mobilizing, with 11,000 representatives from across the sector meeting virtually to discuss strategies, including legal preparedness. While the White House denies any immediate plans for such orders, nonprofits remain concerned.
