National Council of Nonprofits -- Special Report re State Budget Crises
From: Tim Delaney [mailto:tdelaney@councilofnonprofits.org]
Subject: National Council of Nonprofits -- Special Report re State Budget Crises
Dear Listening Post Colleagues:
Given our mutual interest in helping nonprofits in the field, I thought I should share the following link to our new Special Report, “State Budget Crises: Ripping the Safety Net Held by Nonprofits.” http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/sites/default/files/Special-Report-State-Budget-Crises-Ripping-the-Safety-Net-Held-by-Nonprofits.pdf
As you know, the picture is beyond bleak in the states … and likely to get far worse for at least a few more years. Therefore, we designed the report to provide our state associations and nonprofit members, as well as our national allies, with an initial broad public frame to help them see and explain to others what is happening so they can take action to prevent, or at least mitigate, the damage. The report is also intended to put state and local policymakers and members of the media on notice about the dangerous trends we have been tracking.
We have several other reports in the works that will dig deeper into the state trends on budget cuts, withholding of payments (late, partial reimbursement, etc.), and imposition of new taxes and fees. We also plan to chronicle some impressive work in strengthening the partnership between nonprofits and state governments. We are building our repository of information on these issues, so as you have noteworthy examples – good as well as bad – please forward them to us. Thanks.
Knowing your recognition about threats mounting in the states, and because your members may be reading news reports about this report very soon, we wanted to get this Special Report directly into your hands. Please feel free to relay the link directly to your members (if you want) so they have some added ammunition.
