“These strategic investments in our nonprofits will help ensure they have the capacity to continue serving the Hartford and Bloomfield communities,” Senator McCrory said. “These groups represent the fabric of our social safety net and I am grateful that Governor Lamont has directed funds to support their missions.”

The governor’s office awarded the grants under the state Nonprofit Grant Program, an initiative that has provided more than $130 million in support for capital projects by Connecticut nonprofit groups since it was established in 2013.
“Connecticut’s nonprofit providers support residents in every town and are a vital part of our social services safety net,” Governor Lamont said. “Providing funding to make strategic investments helps these organizations deliver the services some of our most vulnerable residents depend upon. This grant funding will help all of the residents that these organizations support be able to utilize their personal strengths, talents, and passions.”
