Pure Charity’s State of Good for June 15, 2026 reveals a sector paradox: charitable giving grew 5% in 2025 while 90% of nonprofit leaders report burnout and 83% of donors face financial stress. This free intelligence brief examines how federal funding freezes since January 2025, new OMB grant rules, and shifting donor psychology are reshaping nonprofit strategy.

Key findings include the concentration of giving growth among fewer wealthy donors, emerging opportunities in financial advisor partnerships, and successful capital campaign adaptations despite sector uncertainty.
