The Non-Profit Grant Program awards Grants-in-aid to selected private, nonprofit health and human service organizations that are exempt under Section 501(c)(3) and that receive funds from the State to provide direct health and human services to State agency clients.  The purpose of the NGP is to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, safety and/or accessibility of health and human services being delivered by nonprofit organizations under contracts with or funding from State agencies.

Governor Malloy announced the launch of the state’s first-ever Nonprofit Grant Program in August 2013. The Governor proposed and the Legislature approved funding in the amount of $20M in each year of the FY14/FY15 biennium.

The Governor described the program as a way of helping nonprofit health and human service agencies ensure that their funding goes towards assisting those most in need of their services. “By supporting capital purchases that enhance service delivery, efficiency and effectiveness and addressing health, safety and accessibility issues, nonprofit agencies can focus on what they do best – getting services to those who need them most.”
