The National Council of Nonprofits warns that the ongoing federal government shutdown is severely disrupting nonprofit operations and harming vulnerable communities. With federal agencies unable to process payments or renew contracts, nonprofits are losing access to critical funding streams. This threatens services such as food assistance, housing, childcare, and disaster relief. Many nonprofits are being forced to take out loans, reduce staff, or shut down programs. The Council urges Congress and the Administration to end the shutdown immediately, emphasizing that nonprofits are essential partners in delivering public services and responding to crises.
To countermand the disruption, nonprofits can proactively seek bridge funding through private grants, philanthropic partnerships, and emergency relief programs, emphasizing continuity of essential services and readiness to resume federally funded operations once the shutdown ends.
