#Nonprofit leaders from across #Westchester gathered at “Inside the Nonprofit Sector: Strengthening Westchester’s Health & Economy” hosted by Nonprofit Westchester to discuss the state of the sector. While the data presented showed the extensive impact of #WestchesterNonprofits in providing a wide range of critical services and jobs for tens of thousands of county residents, leaders also discussed the unprecedented threats to funding and services as a result of recent and proposed federal actions. WJCS Director of Engagement and Culture Stephan Spilkowitz spoke with Jade Nash from News 12 Westchester about the need for nonprofits to join together in advocacy efforts with elected officials at all levels given the potential cuts to critical programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.
