Here for Good: Connections, conversations, inspiration

We were delighted to welcome so many of you at community events in Nashua, Concord and Bethlehem in September.

All over the state, people came together to learn, celebrate and connect. About 350 people joined us over the three nights, and we are grateful to everyone who did. It was wonderful to engage with so many nonprofit partners, donors and their advisors and community leaders — and to help facilitate their connections with one another. It is always an inspiration to hear the stories of nonprofit organizations that are doing so much good for the New Hampshire community.

Many thanks to all who joined us, and to all who provided feedback after the events. And don’t worry — if you were not able to attend an event this fall, we have more opportunities for gathering in the works for 2025!
