In the WalletHub article “Most Charitable States,” Jiahuan Lu, associate professor of public administration and international affairs, talks about some of the biggest challenges facing U.S.-based charities in the current economic environment.
“Charities now face major funding uncertainty, with government contracts and grants becoming less stable than in the past. As government—especially federal—support recedes, competition for philanthropic dollars and other revenue sources is likely to intensify significantly,” says Lu.
“In addition to funding volatility, another pressing challenge for charities is rising operational costs, from staff wages and benefits to materials and facility expenses,” he says.
