DEC2025:Catalyst Table: Sparking Nonprofit Dialogue & Solutions for Today!

Leading with Intention Amid Defunding:

A Strategic Response for Nonprofit Leaders

The Current Challenge: Federal Funding Under Threat

The administration’s 2026 “skinny budget” proposes steep cuts—22.6% ($163 billion) in domestic discretionary spending—including deep reductions across housing, health, education, and workforce development.

Our intimate conversation will be focused on overcoming these challenges by "Leading with Intention".

What "Leading with Intention" Looks Like

• Anchor Every Decision in Mission—Now, More Than Ever
• Be Transparent & Build Trust—Especially During Uncertainty
• Invest in People, Not Just Programs
• Lead with Equity at the Center
• Embrace Smart Experimentation— Pilots: Fail Fast, Fail Often, Correct & Close the Loop
