The Federal Government Shutdown Could Compound Financial Insecurity Among Nonprofits
During a federal government shutdown, more than just public facilities and services get shuttered or restricted. As the grants, payments, and reimbursements the federal government provides to nonprofits are paused or put at risk, nonprofits may also have to reduce or stop providing the critical programs and supports they offer communities nationwide—including mental health services, job training, and disaster relief.
The shutdown adds to a challenging financial environment for nonprofits.
