Our #Endorsement Slate highlights candidates for #NYCMayor and Comptroller who are committed to meaningful change for our sector & workers.

“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.

#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.
🧾Like every other business, nonprofits have rent, payroll, and program costs.
But unlike other industries, the City takes months, even years, to pay us. 🕒
Nonprofits can’t run on passion alone - we need timely payments. Let’s pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249 to help the City #PayNonprofitsOnTime!

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
