The National Council of Nonprofits released an analysis of President Trump's fiscal year 2018 budget proposal yesterday. The Idaho Nonprofit Center is disseminating this analysis in its entirety. We encourage INC members to take time to understand the breadth and scope of the proposals for cuts to important services, many delivered by nonprofits.
While these cuts give an important view into what the Trump Administration believes is important for the U.S., we remind everyone that the proposals are only a part of the process and the final budget will come from the legislative branch. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi (R-WY) put yesterday's release in perspective: "I hope that people don't panic over the President's - any President's - budget. They're just suggestions." We also suggest that Idaho nonprofits not panic, but be vigilant and reach out to your elected officials to express your thoughts on the importance of programs that have been suggested for cuts. Be sure to get your voices heard! To learn more about the proposed cuts, please review the article below and from The Nonprofit Times. *Language borrowed from our partner organization: Nonprofit Association of Oregon
