康涅狄格州开放1950万美元非营利补助第九轮：健康与人类服务机构可申请楼宇改造与技术升级，2027年1月5日截止
康涅狄格州州长 Ned Lamont 10月27日在州府哈特福德宣布，州政府开放1,950万美元资金，供健康与人类服务类非营利机构申请楼宇改造、安全改善与技术升级。这是州非营利补助计划（Nonprofit Grant Program）的第九轮，由州政策与管理办公室（OPM）管理，申请期自10月27日开放，2027年1月5日截止，州政府预计2027年春季公布获助名单。
该计划只资助资本项目、不资助直接服务，州政府称这让非营利机构能把自有资金用于服务对象、而非其无力负担的设施。合格项目包括：翻新、扩建与新建；健康与安全改善，包括符合《美国残疾人法案》的改造；能效升级；信息技术系统；帮助服务对象更独立生活的技术；提供服务所需的车辆；以及物业购置。申请材料通过州 CTsource 采购门户与该计划网页提交。
非营利补助计划创设于2013年，前八轮已为全州非营利机构的700多个资本项目拨款约1.66亿美元；本轮开放后，该计划自创设以来提供的资金总额将超过1.85亿美元。州长办公室表示，受助机构为全州各社区提供健康与人类服务，资本投入意在让这些一线服务提供者把更多资源留给所服务的人群。
Connecticut Opens $19.5 Million Ninth Round of Nonprofit Grant Program for Building and Technology Upgrades, Applications Due January 5, 2027
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced in Hartford on October 27 that the state is making $19.5 million available to nonprofit health and human service providers for building renovations, safety improvements and technology upgrades, in the ninth round of Connecticut's Nonprofit Grant Program. The program is run by the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management. The application period opened October 27 and applications are due by January 5, 2027; the state expects to announce awards in spring 2027.
The program pays for capital projects rather than direct services, which the administration said lets nonprofits spend their own money on clients instead of facilities they may otherwise struggle to afford. Eligible projects include renovations, additions and new construction; health and safety improvements, including work to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act; energy efficiency upgrades; information technology systems; technology that helps clients live more independently; vehicles needed to deliver services; and property purchases. Application materials are available through the state's CTsource procurement portal and the program's webpage.
The Nonprofit Grant Program was created in 2013. Its first eight rounds awarded about $166 million for more than 700 capital projects at nonprofits across the state, according to the governor's office. The new round brings the total made available since the program began to more than $185 million. The governor's office said the recipient organizations provide health and human services in communities across Connecticut, and that the capital funding is intended to help front-line providers keep more of their own resources focused on the people they serve.
