Eight nonprofits in southeastern Connecticut are among 92 in Connecticut that will receive funding awards under the state’s Nonprofit Grant Program, which helps organizations pay for one-time infrastructure improvements.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Thursday that $30.8 million in grants is being awarded.

“Connecticut’s nonprofit organizations serve every resident of Connecticut and play a substantial role in maintaining our safety net,” 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.”
