‘Here for good,’ a message from our board and CEO

New Hampshire’s statewide community foundation was launched in 1962. The era was one of both challenge and peril — but also of audacious optimism, and belief in what was possible. We again find ourselves again in an era of complex challenges. Challenges in decades to come may be more complex yet. The Charitable Foundation will be here. For good.

Here for Good

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's 2023 annual report, "Here for Good," tells stories of how people around the state are addressing some of today's critical issues — from climate change to voting access, from health care to child care. The report is available online, and printed copies will be mailed soon. Please join us to continue the conversation at events in September.
