The state will give five local nonprofits over $4 million in aid Thursday as part of the outgoing governor’s grant program to help nonprofits with infrastructure improvement projects.
Gov. Dannel Malloy announced that 92 Connecticut nonprofits will receive roughly $30.8 million in state grants as part of the state’s Nonprofit Grant Program.
“Created by Governor Malloy in 2013,” state spokesperson David Bednarz wrote in Thursday’s press release, “the program has invested a total of $105 million in hundreds of the state’s nonprofit organizations since its launch. Today’s allocations are the program’s seventh round of grants.”
Five of those recipients are local nonprofits. They include:
• Continuum of Care, Inc., which will receive $60,000 for renovations to its Bridgeport Crisis residential center;
• Cornell Scott-Hill Health Corporation, which will receive $290,913 to buy new HVAC units;
• Fair Haven Community Health Clinic, Inc., which will receive $1,095,957 for a new Family Health and Wellness Center;
• Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, Inc., which will receive $740,553 to renovate and expand its Waterbury Health Center;
• And The Children’s Community Programs of Connecticut, Inc., which will receive $1,900,800 for building acquisition and renovation.
Because this broke state and dumpy governor just can't spend enough money fast enough - good riddance.
