U.S. Non-Profits Slashed Jobs

“U.S. non-profit organizations have eliminated tens of thousands of jobs this year with cuts to federal grants and a decline in donations slashing their budgets,” the Financial Times reports.

“Food banks, crisis hotlines, research institutes and universities have laid off 28,696 workers since the start of 2025, according to an analysis by outplacement firm Challenger, Grey & Christmas — a 409 percent jump from the 5,640 jobs cut during the first 11 months of 2024.”

“U.S. charities provide crucial public services and are major drivers of the U.S. economy. The sector accounts for 10 percent of private payrolls, compared to 8 percent for manufacturing. More than 300,000 non-profits employ 12.8 million U.S. workers.”
