Information + Inspiration: 2019 Charitable Giving Guide

New Hampshire Business Review's annual giving guide helps spread the word about the great work of New Hamsphire's nonprofit sector

By Lois R. Shea, Senior Writer and Communications Officer  |  

Giving is always in season, and New Hampshire Business Review’s annual giving guide provides information and inspiration year-round.

The 2019 Charitable Giving Guide includes profiles of New Hampshire nonprofits, plus a how-to by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Laura Rauscher about how “charitable mission statements” can help people, families and businesses make their giving more effective, rewarding and joyful.

Read about how Eastern Bank supports life-changing scholarships, and how the Amato family of Milford is helping kids in their community — while also involving their own children and grandchildren in giving.

The Charitable Foundation is a founding partner of the Giving Guide, and sponsors the annual publication. This year’s sponsors also include Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, the Concord Hospital Trust, and Sheehan Phinney.

Kudos to New Hampshire Business Review for inspiring people to give.

‘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.

Leading with respect, dignity and compassion for people experiencing homelessness

Our greatest challenge continues to be reducing the stigma about people experiencing homelessness. People become homeless for many reasons such as a lack of affordable housing, mental illness, substance abuse disorders, catastrophic illness, natural disasters, unemployment, or working low-wage jobs. They are individuals of all ages, colors, and abilities. They are all human beings, worthy of respect, dignity, and compassion.

Advancing mental health care to strengthen community

A community mental health center is a private not-for-profit with a public mission. We provide a core array of services to the general public — like emergency crisis services — and the treatments and programs that kids or adults need should they have a disabling mental health condition. We do things that no other healthcare provider can do.

Collaboration at the heart of mission

Vital Communities’ mission is to engage people, organizations, and communities to create equitable solutions to our region’s challenges. We are not just an organization, we are a movement with collaboration at the heart of our work. We believe in the strength of our communities and the catalytic effect that occurs when diverse minds unite for a shared purpose.

Pride builds community, belonging

When LGBTQ people can feel safe, they can become part of the larger community, which is better for everyone. When we feel we belong, and know this can be home, that we want to stay here, or to move here, we will fight for that sense of place, and we fight for each other. And because of that, we all thrive together.

Data and research to inform, make a difference

As the executive director of the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute — a nonpartisan, independent policy research nonprofit organization — and a father to two young children, I spend a considerable amount of my professional and personal life thinking about how decisions made in Concord affect lives in communities across this state.
