A government shutdown places significant strain on nonprofit organizations, which are often called upon to serve as a safety net for communities during crises. Nonprofits that rely on federal contracts and grants face an immediate cash flow crisis, as funding reimbursements and new grant awards can be frozen or delayed due to the furlough of agency personnel. This funding interruption forces many organizations, which typically operate with small cash reserves, to either use emergency funds, lay off employees, or pause critical services.

This is an evolving situation and we will continue to monitor and report out as appropriate.
