Federal Dysfunction. Local Fallout
When federal funding is disrupted, the effects ripple throughout Montana. Nonprofits are critical partners to government, filling gaps in essential services like healthcare, housing, and food assistance. When funding is uncertain, nonprofits are forced to reduce services, lay off staff, or even close their doors, leaving rural and vulnerable Montanans with nowhere else to turn. These delays and disruptions aren’t just bureaucratic; they put real people at risk, including seniors and veterans, children, and families. Our government must provide reliable, timely funding so nonprofits can continue their vital work without political interference or unnecessary red tape.
