A messAge from ronAs we reflect on 35 years of service to nonprofits in Connecticut, we see a tremendous amount of success in areas such as leadership, sustainability, overcoming obstacles and managing change.

True to our mission to help nonprofits help Connecticut, in 2012 we worked tirelessly to ensure that our members received the highest quality support and tools available to meet their challenges and succeed. However, more needs to be done, and we are poised to lead the cause in the coming year with initiatives that include long term solutions through meaningful reform by strengthening the partnership between the state and nonprofits, as well as building new relationships with the private sector in order to enhance and achieve our goals.

Wide ranging public policy is something we pride ourselves on. With dedicated staff and decades of cultivating and building relationships with policy makers, CT Nonprofits makes sure our members have a seat at the table when decisions are being made that impact their missions, services and communities.

Our collective efforts resulted in the first cost of living adjustment to state health and human service contracts in four years. A small victory, but one we will continue to build upon in 2013.

This year began with yet another victory for the sector with the proposal of a $20 million bond pool specifically for nonprofit capital improvements. That’s a positive step in the right direction, but it is imperative that nonprofits have input into the development of the program’s guidelines. CT Nonprofits will utilize our collective voice to have a say in what happens next.

We believe that funding for accountable, effective nonprofit programs is a solid investment in our state’s vitality and one that cannot be overlooked or pushed aside.

Nonprofits are vital to the wellbeing of Connecticut’s children and adults, and essential to building vibrant cities and towns. We elevate the quality of life for countless people throughout our state. Whether our specialties are health and human services, farming or the arts – our diversity does not diminish the fact that we are champions for the common good.

This report shares further reflections on the success of CT Nonprofits and our network. It is because of the support from our members and partners that so much was accomplished, and our momentum is strong as we enter 2013. We look forward to continuing our service to you in the coming year!

CT Nonprofits has developed strong and meaningful relationships with all branches of state government. In 2012 we testified on numerous bills and aided our members in writing their own testimony. Seven in-district meetings were held with our US Representatives and State Legislators attracting 165 of our members to engage one-on-one with these leaders.

PUBLIC POLICY EVENTSIn January, we held an Advocacy Day at the University of Hartford. The sessions included advocacy, media relations and engaging the philanthropic community. A meet and greet session with seven state commissioners followed. The day also kicked off our Connecticut Speaks Up! campaign designed to help members engage with their elected officials.

Our annual legislative reception in April drew over 200 participants including 73 legislators and the Governor.

The 2012 Nonprofits Week(s) at the Capitol showcased 100 of our member agencies in February and April.

More than 2,600 nonprofit professionals benefited from our workshops and events which were conducted to better serve our geographically diverse member base and the state wide nonprofit community.

OUR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, Nonprofit Advantage, went viral in March as a fully interactive online publication connecting over 7,000 subscribers with vital information

on the nonprofit sector.

CT Nonprofits has developed strong and meaningful relationships with all branches of state government. In 2012 we testified on numerous bills and aided our members in writing their own testimony. Seven in-district meetings were held with our US Representatives and State Legislators attracting 165 of our members to engage one-on-one with these leaders.

puBLiC poLiCY EvEnTSIn January, we held an Advocacy Day at the University of Hartford. The sessions included advocacy, media relations and engaging the philanthropic community. A meet and greet session with seven state commissioners followed. The day also kicked off our Connecticut Speaks Up! campaign designed to help members engage with their elected officials.

Our annual legislative reception in April drew over 200 participants including 73 legislators and the Governor.

The 2012 Nonprofits Week(s) at the Capitol showcased 100 of our member agencies in February and April.

More than 2,600 nonprofit professionals benefited from our workshops and events which were conducted to better serve our geographically diverse member base and the state wide nonprofit community.

OUR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, Nonprofit Advantage, went viral in March as a fully interactive online publication connecting over 7,000 subscribers with vital information
