The mission of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation is to improve the quality of life in New Hampshire and some adjoining communities in Vermont and Maine.
Community Impact Grants and Express Grants are designed to fulfill our mission by making grants to organizations who are working across a wide variety of areas including:
Apply for a Grant
The Foundation will accept grant applications four times during the year:

Recession Fast Track: Beginning immediately, statewide organizations seeking Community Impact Grants to address basic needs such as food and shelter may apply early, on a rolling basis, up until the April 1st deadline.
The Foundation will select a limited number for fast-track funding. Those not selected will be routed to the regular cycle for review. This applies only to statewide organizations serving multiple regions of the state or having statewide reach of programs and services. |
