New dashboard created to track federal funding cuts impacting Minnesota

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced a new online dashboard to track disruptions and cancelations of federal funds and their impact on services available to Minnesotans. This would include grants to track measles and the avian flu, heating assistance, and flood prevention programs.

“Decisions made by billionaires in Washington are cutting real programs that save Minnesotans money, monitor disease outbreaks, and keep us safe. And they’re just getting started on their promised cuts to Social Security and Medicaid,” said Governor Walz. “Sweeping changes at the federal level are happening with little to no warning or public process. By tracking these changes, we’re doing what we can to keep Minnesotans informed on what we know and what’s to come.”

Minnesota state agencies will report federal funding changes to the Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) who will track the data and update the new online dashboard every weekday.

“One in every three dollars Minnesota state government spends currently comes from the federal government,” said MMB Commissioner Erin Campbell. “Consistent, timely access to federal dollars is needed to continue providing the services Minnesotans depend on. That includes funding for Medicaid, food assistance, childcare assistance, and employment counseling and financial assistance to families in poverty, among many other programs and services. This new online resource provides transparency into federal funding disruptions impacting Minnesota.”

In 2025, Minnesota was awarded more than $23.3 billion in federal grants. The Governor’s office said Minnesota is now facing potential cuts in federal funding for entitlement programs like Medicade.

Federal funding cancellations have already impacted the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Department of Human Services, and Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
