Late Payments: How pervasive is the issue?

New York, and the nonprofit organizations it contracts with, is not the only state facing this issue.  The National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) has recognized this as a growing concern since last year.  In their special report, A Respectful Warning Call to Our Partners in Government, NCN stated, "Government officials need to be aware that many nonprofits are unable to deliver the same level of services, let alone more. Nonprofit leaders need to prepare individual nonprofits for a protracted financial shortfall coming at a time when individuals and communities seek more services."
