Hopefully this won't happen in our state, but time will tell.

It's nearly Independence Day and thousands of nonprofit jobs are at
immediate risk in Minnesota.
The state of Minnesota has shut down today and advocates are projecting
that it may last as long as two or three months. This means that the
contracts that nonprofits have with the state to provide services to
those already suffering with the effects of the recession will be at the
very least delayed, and potentially completely eliminated, but, and here
is the rub, nobody will know which it is -- the shutdown or the recession.

Nonprofits in Minnesota have been told by the state that they must
continue to serve on ongoing contracts. But imagine what all of these
program directors are thinking about right now . . . If our contract was
in process what do we do? Do we lay off core service delivery staff? How
do we continue to serve people in some way even while guarding our
sustainability? Should we -- could we -- get a line of credit? How
likely are we to get funded when the new budget is passed?
My guess is that this will be the final blow for any number of agencies
unless the shutdown is very short lived.

NPQ did with two Minnesota based advocates, Jon Pratt and Kate Barr, who
have been hard at work trying to prepare the state's nonprofits for the
shutdown and advocate for a reasonable budget simultaneously. I think
you will be impressed with their enormously comprehensive approach to
this very difficult moment.
Our best wishes are with our likely very worried colleagues in the north
as we head into the July 4th weekend.
