A bipartisan group of members of Congress is requesting a record $500 million for nonprofit security grants in the upcoming federal budget. That amount would double the current spending. In a letter to leaders of the House Appropriations Committee, the 130 representatives say the increase is needed to counter an uptick in extremist violence and attacks on nonprofits and places of worship. The request is likely a long shot, as the administration has proposed deep cuts to the pot of money from which the grants come. The Anti-Defamation League recorded more than 1,700 “antisemitic incidents targeting Jewish institutions” in 2024, according to an executive with the organization. (Jewish Insider)
A report by New York City’s comptroller says the city owes more than $1 billion on at least 7,000 unpaid invoices to nonprofit contractors, some dating back years. Officials have cited increased oversight paperwork, a glitchy new payment portal, and understaffing as the main culprits. Proposed solutions, some of which have been implemented, include paying in advance, making bridge loans, or paying approved portions of invoices so that disputed line items do not cause unnecessary delays. Some officials are also proposing paying the interest that nonprofits incur on loans they take out to survive the payment delays. (New York Times)
