Question about project 2025

How would it affect small businesses, especially local nonprofits?

Answer

It's likely that the platform would be harmful for small businesses and especially local nonprofits. The document wants to reduce regulations, cut government spending, and change funding formulas, making it harder for many small businesses and nonprofits to survive. With reduced support for basic needs programs such as food stamps, Medicare, and other forms of aid, it could make it even more difficult for vulnerable groups to access these resources and further impede a business's ability to make profit or a nonprofit's ability to adequately service a population. This might benefit large businesses or corporations as they don't rely on government aid as much and they have more political power. Local nonprofits might get less money from the government or lose the grants and funding that allow them to provide resources such as food and housing assistance or legal aid and health support to vulnerable populations.
