Widespread Support for Community Nonprofits in Poll of CT Voters

An overwhelming majority of voters across the demographic, geographic and ideological divides consider services provided by CT Community Nonprofit Alliance members important to towns and cities like theirs, and should be funded as such by the state of Connecticut, acccording to polling conducted for the Alliance in late March by Change Research.
 
The poll results below show the Alliance’s proposal, which would restore $461 million in funding by 2026, with about half paid for by the federal government, and indexing future funding to inflation,  is supported by 76% of voters (43% strongly support), including majorities of Democrats, independent and Republican voters.
