Statement from Gian Carl Casa, President & CEO of CT Community Nonprofit Alliance::
“Community-based nonprofits saw solid gains in the 2025 General Assembly session. The biennial budget agreement will provide more than $200 million in new general fund dollars that will be a lifeline for health and human services providers, their staff and the people who depend on their services.
“Nonprofit leaders were heartened that rank and file legislators, including the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus, Moderate Caucus and progressives, stood together to add important funding, and that legislative leaders and the Governor agreed. “Importantly, the legislature also passed a bipartisan bill that, if signed into law, would index future funding levels to inflation.
“The combination of funding increases and future indexing means that nonprofits can take a step forward not just this biennium, but into the future. The support of legislators from both parties can help keep us on track as the state faces federal funding challenges this year and beyond.
“We thank them for their invaluable support.”
