Why did you limit it to federal funding, exactly?
Federal funds = tax dollars
I am not concerned about what is recieved from private donations. People are free to spend their money as they wish. The whole point is NGO's are outta control and use our tax dollars against American interests.

Because in a free society, dumbasses are free to spend/donate their money to whomever they please.
Federal money = taxpayer money/debt (translation: your and my money/debt).
But in this instance, there is a very low possibility federal funds are a primary tool of this accumulation.
Spinning it as NGOs make you think the opposite, but when it's just "non-profits", that flips. Again, think churches, SPLC, etc. Primarily funded via private donations.

That doesn't answer my question.
Are private donations tax dollars? No.
So, I'll ask this in another way: why are you ignoring private donations from this scenario?

Reminder: NGOs are not bound by the constitution.

See, YA? There is a reason the content creators dishonestly used "NGO"
It immediately leads to looking at federal funding, which is an associated concept to "NGOs"
Of course. My quibble/issue is the situation that has been created where it's easy for anyone to blur the line between the two for any number of purposes.

That's exactly why I was trying to clarify and use the correct term (non-profit)
My initial thoughts ITT were about the public/private divide, which is then when I started thinking about churches. That's why I went to the primary sourcing (because X content creators are inherently dishonest) and confirmed my suspicions.
NGOs is much more loaded, especially in this climate, than "non-profit" I'd imagine. I don't see it being nearly as effective in the reverse, but am willing to be proven wrong wiht examples

I answered ur question. I don't care about private donations to NGO's nor am I attempting to debate the thread title.
I care about my tax dollars being misused by progressive NGO's for anti American endeavors.
This is the second time I've answered ur question. I care about the hundreds of billions of tax dollars being wasted and ill spent by the NGO's.
You think I'm dishonest and I think your an articulate idiot. It's hilarious for an attorney to call anyone dishonest! Lol

Federal Funding to Nonprofits/NGOs OverallNonprofits as a sector receive substantial government funding (federal, state, and local grants/contracts), primarily for secular social services, health, education, housing, disaster relief, etc.Recent data (2021–2023) shows nonprofits that file Form 990 received at least $240–304 billion annually in government grants. This includes direct federal grants plus federal funds passed through states/localities.

Just to clarify, this money is still largely going to be spent and just administered by federal/state employees instead of NGOs with the NGO layer removed.
The funding part hasn't been affected in any meaningful way.
Removing the NGO has an effect, but not on the funding amounts.

Honestly, I have no problem with NGO's that spend tax dollars for just causes but at this point, after all the fraud and abuse that's been revealed, how can adetermination be made?
Also, I don't agree that funds no longer going to whichever NGO's will automatically be spent.

You are exactly right. The government should not ever be in the business of charity.

I don't think churches should get special treatment by the IRS
we agree!!
having made the above statement, then why should federal money EVER go to an NGO/non-profit?
This is like someone having $1000/yr of disposal income but spending $2000/yr in donations. Simply makes no sense. If the federal gov't is broke, then why should ANY money go to an NGO or non-profit org?

Yes, but only if they are using it for good liberal purposes.
