Nonprofits face unprecedented federal funding cuts and policy shifts, compounded by decades of disinvestment.

Our panel, “Protecting Human Services During National Polycrisis,” brought together sector leaders building resilience to explore our path forward. #SOMOS2025

📉 NY State contracts with #nonprofits to deliver lifesaving services to millions of NYers
⏰ But contracting delays, burdensome processes, & delayed reimbursements are chronic
💥 S.7001/A.7616 is the solution

@governor.ny.gov: Sign it & keep the sector strong!

The State promised. #Nonprofits delivered.
Now we’re left waiting – for months – for millions of $$ in late payments, contract registration, and more.

Nonprofits can’t survive on broken promises!

@governor.ny.gov, sign S.7001/A.7616!

🖋️ @governor.ny.gov, sign S.7001/A.7616 NOW!

For too long NY's #nonprofits have struggled to keep programs afloat amidst contracting delays, inefficiencies, & unnecessary roadblocks.

NY’s nonprofits can’t wait any longer! It's time to #StandWithNonprofits & protect vital services for New Yorkers.
