"Reimagining Resilience: Sustaining our mission in a changing world" is a 2025 series by Spring designed to support rights and justice organizations to collectively make sense of the unprecedented cuts to foreign aid, changing philanthropic priorities and shrinking civic space—while staying resourced to sustain their missions in the long haul.
