A new survey shows that almost 80% of our state's nonprofits could be in financial trouble within a year - an alarming increase from 50% in 2022. Nonprofits are still rebuilding from COVID and economic factors are causing more people to seek help from social service organizations. Nonprofits rely heavily on philanthropic support and support is dwindling which can lead to programs being cut, staff being let go and nonprofits merging just to continue their work. https://lnkd.in/gKAsArer

Thank you to Minneapolis City Council for their support of Agate and fighting the housing crisis in our city. A big thank you to Agate's staff union, AFSCME Local 999, for raising their voices and calling on Council members to take action. https://lnkd.in/gvbSR2pd

Thanks to the The Minnesota Star Tribune for covering this story and highlighting the issues facing our unhoused and food insecure neighbors. Organizations, like Agate, provide much-needed services with not enough help from local, state and national funding sources leading to deficits. We are working very hard to house those being displaced and find a long-term solution to reopen the Food Centre. https://lnkd.in/gd3ziyH4
