Non-profits can have funding issues for all sorts of reasons aside

Disasters strike. Unprecedented outside events can stretch
resources thin.
Culture changes, interest wanes, tastes migrate. Funding
foundations can
have a change in leadership and direction. Underwriting companies
can go
under or be bought. Sugar daddies/mommas die with poorly written
wills.
Being a free-market Capitalist I would have to insist that it is a
management responsibility to navigate through such rough waters. If
times have changed and the need being met by the non-profit are no
longer a priority then it is time for the non-profit to close up
shop. The Tribe Has Spoken.
