As New York’s budget negotiations unfold amid economic uncertainty and shifting federal policies, philanthropy has an important role to play in understanding the fiscal landscape shaping communities across the state. For funders supporting economic justice, health, and social safety net programs, the state budget is a critical lever that determines the resources available to families and communities.
The Fiscal Policy Institute (FPI) team will present analysis of the New York State Executive Budget and share recommendations for this year’s budget. The discussion will explore the state’s fiscal and economic outlook, key revenue and spending trends, tax policy considerations, and the potential impacts of federal policy changes—including implications for Medicaid and SNAP following H.R. 1. The session will also examine the New York City budget and highlight policy recommendations focused on affordability, including childcare.
Please join us for a timely briefing and discussion designed to help funders better understand the policy landscape, the implications for communities across New York, and opportunities to support equitable and effective policy solutions.
