CT Community Nonprofit Alliance

Our mission is to advance excellence in community-based nonprofits through advocacy and capacity building. We lend a powerful, collective voice to nonprofits throughout Connecticut, enhancing their capacity to build economically stable, healthy, and culturally rich communities. Representing hundreds of nonprofit organizations across all categories, from Health and Human Service programs to Arts and Culture, we share the passion and purpose behind each and every one of our member’s mission, and channel that purpose into a powerful, unified voice. We lead from a position of strength, representing organizations while presenting a united front before the Connecticut Legislature, state agencies, other advocacy organizations, the public and the media. As a collective voice we develop strategies and public policies that make it possible for nonprofits to thrive. Our strategic commitments work to build the capacity of our members to be vibrant and financially sustainable, and achieve excellence; advocate to ensure that the vital role of nonprofits (our members) is valued and fully supported by public policy and adequate funding; be a primary resource for our members and other stakeholders. Together we are much more powerful and influential than we can be as individual agencies.
