We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis. As a ministry of the Catholic church, we mourn the loss of his leadership but take comfort in the knowledge of his eternal rest through the love and sacrifice of Jesus. With gratitude for the life and witness of Pope Francis, we pray now, “Go, good and faithful servant, to your eternal reward!” At the same time, we welcome Pope Leo to carry on Pope Francis' legacy of mercy, compassion, care for immigrants, and living out the Catholic Social Teachings that guide our work.

Government Funding Cuts Put Nonprofits at Risk
Nonprofits are the cornerstone of vibrant, resilient communities, providing day-to-day services and critical supports when disasters strike. In communities nationwide, nonprofits provide groceries, meals, and shelter to people experiencing housing and food insecurity. They take care of the young and the elderly, run suicide prevention hotlines and intervention services, and provide job training. Nonprofits organize after-school tutoring programs and manage free and low-cost medical clinics in rural, suburban, and urban communities. They help people gather, share stories, and organize community groups.
