Malloy Announces Grants for Danbury Nonprofits

DANBURY, CT – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that two Danbury nonprofits were among the 92 organizations awarded approximately $30.8 million in state grants.

Family & Children’s Aid, Inc. received $280,600 for its Playmakers Village installation. Addiction prevention and treatment organization MCCA was awarded $191,232 for HVAC, roof, renovations and water storage.

The money is part of the state’s Nonprofit Grant Program, which assists organizations with the costs associated with one-time infrastructure improvements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the services provided by the organizations.

Created in 2013, 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.

“Connecticut’s nonprofit organizations serve every resident of Connecticut and play a substantial role in maintaining our safety net,” Governor Malloy said. “Partnering with them is a smart fiscal investment to ensure that they can continue to provide services while doing so in an efficient, cost-effective way. By supporting capital purchases that enhance the delivery, efficiency, and effectiveness of the services they provide, these nonprofit organizations can focus their attention on what they do best – getting services to those who need them most.”

The program is administered by the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management.
