REMINDER — PLEASE DISREGARD IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED THIS SURVEY

Pennsylvania’s General Assembly has not yet passed the budget for FY 2025/26, and we are already two months into this fiscal cycle. This delay is creating another crisis while communities grapple with the longer-term implications of the recently passed HR 1 Tax Reconciliation Bill at the federal level. We want to hear from you via this 2025 Budget Impasse Survey so that we can raise a collective nonprofit clamor about the impact this delay has on real people in every neighborhood and community in the Commonwealth.

We know — our organizations are over-surveyed during times of urgency!

So, to eliminate duplicative work, various associations and networks, including RCPA, have come together to collect data regarding both the current and projected impact on both for-profit and nonprofit financials, staffing, and ultimately those served. We will share information with everyone involved so that the survey results can be analyzed and disseminated to the media and legislative contacts most efficiently. Below are the organizations that are coming together to collect this data in order to show you the importance of this information.

For more details about the length of the survey and those best suited to complete it, please see this PDF version so you can prepare. The initial survey deadline is 11:59 pm on Monday, September 15, 2025. For questions about the survey, please email Anne Gingerich, Executive Director, PANO.

As no updates were provided during the recent IM4Q Annual Statewide Training, the following information is shared to provide visibility into what ODP and the technical advisors currently know regarding the start of the new IM4Q cycle.

  • Contacts
    As previously announced, Lee Stephens will be on leave from 8/15 to 9/2. In addition, Ron Melusky is also currently on leave. Toward the end of August, there will be several days when Mary Kay Cunningham and Guy Caruso will be unavailable as well. If any questions or concerns arise during this time, please contact your respective ODP Regional IM4Q Leads.
  • Survey Instruments and Annual Materials
    The 2025–2026 survey materials will be issued following this announcement via a separate email. The additional annual materials will be issued in early September.
  • Tentative 2025–2026 IM4Q Allocations Spreadsheet
    As the Commonwealth does not yet have a signed state budget at this time, ODP cannot yet provide the tentative allocations spreadsheet at this time. Once a budget is in place, ODP will share the information as quickly as possible. However, it is hoped that things will basically remain as last year with only slight modifications for most AEs.
  • 2025–2026 Sampling
    The ODP Data Analytics Unit has begun working on the 2025–2026 AE samples. The extended delay has been brought on by circumstances outside ODP’s influence, and ODP Central Office sincerely regrets this disruption to the process that has been achieved for the last several years. Distribution of the samples will not occur until mid- to late September.
  • HCSIS and ODESA Openings
    The finalization of the samples will determine when HCSIS and ODESA will open for the new cycle. HCSIS could open in early October, but ODESA will most likely not be available until at least mid-November.
