Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual WDOM community gathering! đź’™

We were honored to bring together advocates, community partners, and elected officials to celebrate our work and discuss important policy changes that will impact people with disabilities, including upcoming Medicaid enrollment requirements taking effect in 2027.

We also enjoyed an adaptive hiking demonstration by Westchester Parks Foundation, along with games, music by DJ Rhythem, and refreshments generously provided by DeCicco's & Sons Markets and Bona Bona Ice Cream.

Together, we remain committed to empowering, informing, and advocating for the disability community throughout Westchester County. Thank you for standing with us!

Tell The Governor To Sign NonProfit Contracting Reform Bill

State Legislators and nonprofits gathered at a press conference in Elmsford organized by Nonprofit Westchester to call on the Governor to sign legislation to fix the nonprofit payment system.

Like hundreds of nonprofits across the state, Westchester Disabled On the Move (WDOM) must continue to provide essential services, pay employees, cover rent, and meet every obligation—even when the State fails to pay on time. We cannot put the disability community on hold because Albany’s contracting system is broken.

This crucial concern has the full support of our local legislators, including Senator Shelley Mayer and Assemblymembers Amy Paulin and Dana Levenger. At the forefront of this advocacy was NPW’s Jan Fisher, leading her large membership of Westchester nonprofits.

The Legislature passed two bipartisan bills at the close of the legislative session to reform the nonprofit contracting process: S.9761 (Mayer) / A.10741 (Paulin) and S.9855 (Mayer) / A.11179 (Paulin).

Governor Hochul must sign both bills without delay. New York’s nonprofits deserve better—and so do the communities we serve.

We are so incredibly thankful for Jenna Bainbridge’s support in helping us in our efforts to make people with disabilities aware of their voting options during the 2024 elections.

Now it's our turn to support her. Jenna, an actor, singer, and disability rights advocate, fractured her spine at 16 months old and became partially paralyzed from the waist down. In 2024, she became the first wheelchair user to perform in a New Musical on Broadway when she made her debut in Suffs, which won the 2024 Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Music. Now she’s in the Broadway Musical Wicked.

Please consider supporting her in her latest endeavor as keynote for Accessibility Transforms Lives Gala.

741 New York nonprofits have united to tell Governor Hochul: enough is enough. Years of chronic late payments, delayed contracts, and burdensome, inefficient state processes are undermining the organizations that New Yorkers rely on every day.

State Legislators and nonprofits gathered today at a press conference in Elmsford organized by Nonprofit Westchester to call on the Governor to sign legislation to fix the system.

The Legislature passed two bipartisan bills at the close of the legislative session to reform the nonprofit contracting process: S.9761 (Mayer) / A.10741 (Paulin) and S.9855 (Mayer) / A.11179 (Paulin).

Like hundreds of nonprofits across the state, Westchester Disabled On the Move (WDOM) must continue to provide essential services, paying employees, covering rent, and meeting every obligation—even when the State fails to pay on time.
