💨 Abstract

Federal budget cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act threaten essential nonprofits in McDowell County, West Virginia. The county, once a mining hub, now struggles with poverty and relies heavily on federal programs. Restrictions on SNAP and other federal support are causing layoffs and financial strain among nonprofits. The situation is dire, with nonprofits operating on slim margins and facing potential dissolution without alternative funding.
