How to Deal with Next Round of Federal Funding Cuts with Kendall Webb
What happens when a nonprofit loses critical federal funding overnight? And how can we prepare for even greater funding shifts ahead?
In this episode, we explore the changing landscape of charitable funding—what’s happening now, what’s coming with the 2026 federal budget, and how nonprofits can build resilience in the face of uncertainty.
My guest is Kendall Webb, a pioneer in digital philanthropy and the Founder & Executive Director of Charity Bridge Fund—a new, nonpartisan platform that connects donors with nonprofits that have lost federal funding. With over 25 years of experience at the intersection of giving, technology, and impact, Kendall brings both a big-picture perspective and practical advice for today’s nonprofit leaders.
💡 We discuss:
- What’s at stake for nonprofits as the 2026 federal budget looms
- How to proactively prepare for funding gaps before they hit
- Why transparency and data-driven giving are essential in this next era of philanthropy
- How platforms like Charity Bridge Fund can connect donors and nonprofits in smarter, more sustainable ways
- Broader trends in digital giving and what they mean for fundraising in 2025 and beyond
Kendall also shares powerful insights from her own journey—from co-founding WorldTeach as a Harvard undergrad, to launching JustGive, one of the first online donation platforms, to volunteering as an EMT and clinic support worker in her local community. Her career is a testament to what’s possible when innovation, service, and generosity come together.
