IN PERSON: Broadway Place West, 1300 Godward St NE, Mpls MN 55413
Now that the “Big ‘Beautiful’ Bill” is law we need to understand the downstream impacts so we can prepare our teams, organizations, and communities. With an already challenging 2026 budget for Minnesota, these cuts will have both broad and deep impacts on the State and County funding for the programs and services MACC members provide.
Join us for an in-person briefing to help inform your organizational scenario planning for the next few years. Matt Burdick from Momentum Advocacy, and former MN Department of Human Services Director, a leading expert in healthcare policy will provide a comprehensive overview of HF1 & OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) and its implications for Minnesota and for MACC members. Get details on how “OBBBA” policy changes may affect the state of Minnesota’s budget and operations- and how that will impact your work as a human service nonprofit. We’ll also learn where our advocacy may need to focus next as implementation begins.
