Trump Targets Law Firms, Universities, and Nonprofit Groups

In a recent move, former President Trump has set his sights on law firms, universities, and civil society groups, threatening punitive action that may extend to the nonprofit sector. Following scrutiny of Harvard, concerns among liberal donors and environmental organizations have grown regarding potential investigations into their tax-exempt statuses. Key groups, including climate philanthropies, are preparing for an anticipated crackdown on their nonprofit designations, with rumors suggesting broader actions against institutions like Columbia and Princeton. As Trump continues to voice criticism of major educational and philanthropic entities, the implications for nonprofits across various sectors could be significant, prompting a climate of uncertainty among those reliant on tax-exempt status.
