I want to express my sincere appreciation and thanks for the unprecedented commitment by the General Assembly to fund essential services provided by community nonprofits! The final budget provides more than $280 million over the biennium for community nonprofit services, the first step in a seven-year plan. This historic investment provides certainty for nonprofits and will ensure high quality services are available to our families, friends and neighbors as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. I look forward to working with you, your colleagues and the Governor to make sure the funding is used as the legislature intended. Thank you!
