Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to explore how social workers employed in NGOs operating in the field of migration in Türkiye experience funding cuts. A qualitative research design with a phenomenological orientation was adopted. The analysis identified three interrelated themes: donor-driven precarity and the fragility of civil society employment, precarious belonging and changing professional communities, and constrained impact and invisible labour. Findings show that funding cuts are experienced as a structural condition that produces job insecurity, weakens professional belonging, and renders social work labour increasingly invisible. This study highlights the need for more sustainable employment models to support social work practice.
