There's more money out there. Remember Hollywood and the mega-billionaires are supporters. They have deep pockets. Also, don't underestimated the college-educated AWFLs. They're single, affluent, and have disposable income to spend. Same with the Alphabet crew. There's plenty of private money even if the public money got cut off.

What USAID being shut down means isn't a loss of funding. It's the loss of leadership. The shadow gov't was controlling where the money went so it was spent (mostly) effectively. Well, as effectively as you can spend a slush fund promoting unpopular ideas to the below average IQ in society. The people with the brains had the money. If the actors and billionaires (with no expertise in political organizing) control the money, that's a big setback.
