National Council of Nonprofits Launches Nonprofit Resilience Fund
The National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) announced the launch of the Nonprofit Resilience Fund, a new initiative to ensure charitable nonprofits across the United States have the resources, protections, and infrastructure they need to thrive in an increasingly complex and challenging environment. Nonprofits are the backbone of American communities, providing shelter, food, healthcare, childcare, arts, and countless other vital services. Yet nowadays they face funding gaps and unexpected crises that threaten their ability to deliver on their missions
“For decades nonprofits have been there for communities, feeding families, housing neighbors, protecting rights, and creating opportunities,” said Diane Yentel, President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits. “The Nonprofit Resilience Fund will ensure that nonprofits continue to have the strength, support, and voice they need to continue that work for the long haul. These moments underscore why philanthropy must invest not only in individual missions but also in the infrastructure of the nonprofit sector itself, because when the sector is strong, every community is stronger.”
The Nonprofit Resilience Fund represents NCN’s commitment to investing in sector strength. As NCN’s new fundraising initiative, the Fund is designed to fuel bold action and long-term impact. Through this effort, NCN will advance policy advocacy at both the federal and state levels, defend nonprofit rights through strategic litigation, counter misinformation while elevating nonprofit voices in the media, provide practical resources and tools to help nonprofit leaders succeed, and build the capacity and resilience needed to strengthen the entire sector for years to come.
Meeting the moment, the launch of the Fund comes as nonprofits face mounting challenges, from misinformation campaigns and workforce shortages to policy threats that could undermine their missions. NCN has already taken decisive action this year by filing lawsuits that prevented abrupt federal funding cuts, launching a national media campaign to highlight the value of nonprofits, providing capacity building and training for the nonprofit workforce, and advancing its work of championing, informing, and connecting organizations nationwide.
When you give to the Nonprofit Resilience Fund, you're directly investing in smarter policies, better tools, and stronger connections that sustain thousands of nonprofits nationwide.
