Agency highlights nonprofit spending dashboard

An agency said in a Facebook post that users can access a Non-Profit Spending Dashboard under the “Reports” tab on its website to search any nonprofit that received taxpayer funds over the last five years and identify the state agency that provided the funds.

The post said the dashboard will be updated to reflect 2026 payments when that information becomes available. The agency added that taxpayers deserve this kind of transparency.

Spending dashboards are tools many governments use to provide public access to data on how taxpayer dollars are allocated. They can help reporters, researchers and residents track public contracts, grant recipients and trends in funding without filing public records requests.

The agency did not provide additional details in the post about the timing or scope of the 2026 update. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
