NEW BRITAIN NONPROFITS RECEIVE FUNDING

State Reps. Rick Lopes (D-New Britain, Newington), Bobby Sanchez (D-New Britain), and Betty Boukus (D-Plainville, New Britain), Peter Tercyak (D-New Britain) and Sen. Terry Gerratana (D-New Britain) today announced several New Britain nonprofits have been selected to receive award as part of the state’s Nonprofit Grant Program.

CCARC, Inc., CW Resources, Greater New Britain Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Klingberg Comprehensive Program Services received over $1.3 million under the latest round of awards announced by Governor Dannel P. Malloy.

"Nonprofits fill in critical role in all Connecticut cities and towns, by providing services directly to the families who need them," said Senator Terry Gerratana. "Klingberg and the other community organizations benefiting from this state investment offer guidance and direct support that build and strengthen New Britain's families. Thank you to Governor Malloy for reinforcing Connecticut's commitment to our non-profits."

“Nonprofits serve an indispensable function in New Britain, providing needed services in a cost-effective manner,” Rep. Lopes said. “I thank Governor Malloy and look forward to more excellent work from these organizations.”

“I am pleased funding to support various local nonprofit organizations is heading to New Britain,” Rep. Sanchez said. “The commitment and phenomenal work these organizations deliver to help our communities move ahead is laudable.”

"This is great news for putting diplomas before diapers in New Britain and helping people with disabilities or problems. I hope there are more funding opportunities for other worthy non-profits in the future. I will continue to advocate for non-profit groups across the region that help the residents of New Britain to improve their lives," Rep. Tercyak said.

“These programs provide important services,” Rep. Boukus said. “I’m thrilled Governor Malloy put these programs on the top of the list.”
