In coalition with Human Services Council, New York Council of Nonprofits, The New York Legal Services Coalition and Nonprofit New York, Nonprofit Westchester is seeking to make critical changes to advance fair and equitable contracting with New York State.

The State has long contracted with nonprofits to provide essential services to communities across New York. But persistent delays in payment, an over-reliance on nonprofits to front costs, and a burdensome contracting process have undermined the sector’s stability for decades, weakened the system of care for those most in need and utilized tax payer dollars inefficiently.

  • One in three nonprofits that have New York State contracts are owed funding for services already provided
  • $650 MILLION is owed by the State to nonprofits
  • 65% of organizations expressed concern about funding basic operations in 2025. 

Bills (S7001 Mayer/A7616 Paulin) passed unanimously in the NY State Senate and Assembly offer a solution by making changes to the Prompt Contracting Law to help ensure nonprofits can keep providing critical services by:

  • Clarifying the law and creating consistency in contracting across all agencies
  • Expanding and clarifying renewal contracts
  • Mandating advance payments and de minimis administration in all contracts.

New York State Legislature Passes Amy Paulin and Shelley Mayer Bill to Ensure Nonprofits Get Paid On Time and Stay Afloat 

Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D–New Rochelle) and State Senator Shelley B. Mayer (D–Westchester) announced the passage of their bill, A.7616/S.7001, in both the New York State Assembly and Senate—an urgently needed victory for New York’s nonprofit sector and the millions of residents who rely on its services. The bill, which now awaits the Governor’s signature, reforms New York’s Prompt Contracting Law to ensure nonprofits are paid on time, treated fairly, and equipped to continue delivering essential safety net services across the state.
