📉 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! #FairContractsNow #StandWithNonprofits

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! #FairContractsNow #StandWithNonprofits

🖋️ @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.

We're disappointed that the final State budget only includes a 2.6% “targeted inflationary increase” for human services nonprofits and their workers. This is well below the 7.8% investment we demanded and the full #JustPay the sector deserves. Statement: files.constantcontact.com/fff820e9001/...

“Nonprofits are not optional accessories to city government. Yet, they are treated as expendable.” The City relies on nonprofits to provide essential services - but they don’t pay them as such. ➡️ Why the City must #PayNonprofitsOnTime from NYCETC’s Greg Morris: www.nydailynews.com/2025/05/06/n...

Last Wednesday, HSU joined @hscny.bsky.social, @legalaidnyc.bsky.social and @takerootnyc.bsky.social in demanding the City to #PayNonprofitsOnTime. 🗣️

When the City pays nonprofits late, our communities feel the consequences. In a new op-ed, @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social and @justinbrannan.bsky.social lay out why we need change now and how three new bills can help: 🔗 www.amny.com/oped/op-ed-n... #PayNonprofitsOnTime

NYC's broken procurement system forces nonprofits to rely on “mere promises of payment, rather than prompt and predictable funding,” write @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social and @justinbrannan.bsky.social in a new op-ed. 🗞️ Learn why we need solutions to #PayNonprofitsOnTime: www.amny.com/oped/op-ed-n...

📣 It’s time to pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249 and demand the City #PayNonprofitsOnTime!

📢 Passion doesn’t pay the bills—timely payments do! Yesterday, we rallied with human services leaders, workers, and electeds on the steps of City Hall to demand that the City #PayNonprofitsOnTime and pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249. 📸 Photos: lnkd.in/eW4SNAjX 🎥 Recording: lnkd.in/eUvKJatg

New report, same news: the City still isn’t paying nonprofits on time. @nyccomptroller.bsky.social's data shows: 📉 7,000 unpaid invoices totaling $1B+ 📉 2,500 unregistered contracts worth $4.6B 📉 Payment delays getting worse Learn more: comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/nonp... #PayNonprofitsOnTime

We rallied with @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social, @council.nyc.gov colleagues, and Human Services organizations to demand the City #PayNonprofitsOnTime. Delayed payments mean debt, delayed employee salaries, and interruptions in critical services to New Yorkers. Enough is enough. @hscny.bsky.social

📉Over 90% of the City’s human services contracts are registered late—delaying payments and putting nonprofits, workers, and communities at risk. Passion keeps us going, but it doesn’t keep the lights on. ✅ It’s time for the City to #PayNonprofitsOnTime and pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249.

Passion fuels our work, but it doesn’t pay the bills. Timely payments do. 🕒 Nonprofits deserve to be paid on time for our essential work, like every other industry. Let’s #PayNonprofitsOnTime and pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249.

Without timely payments, says @takerootnyc.bsky.social’s Keriann Paul, our doors close and communities lose access to essential services. #PayNonprofitsOnTime

The City relies on nonprofits like @goddardriverside.bsky.social and @voagny.bsky.social to provide life-saving services - but owes the sector millions of dollars for services they already provided. #PayNonprofitsOnTime

“The City needs to pay their bills on time…A billion dollars is just sitting there that should be deployed to these organizations…Nonprofits do the work and wait years to get paid for work they already did” @justinbrannan.bsky.social we agree - let’s #PayNonprofitsOnTime!

“When nonprofits aren’t paid on time, we can’t keep the lights on. Our families don’t get food or childcare assistance. Youth don’t get employment and educational services. That’s not right.” COFCCA’s Dr. Sophine Charles advocating to #PayNonprofitsOnTime 📣

“Due to contract registration delays and lack of timely reimbursements, nonprofits are facing severe financial strain…Our city must resolve these challenges and advance solutions to this crisis.” @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social pushing to #PayNonprofitsOnTime and pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249 👏
