Concord, NH (PRESS RELEASE) – The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation Board of Directors recently welcomed two new members: JerriAnne Boggis, executive director of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire, and Joseph Morone, past president and CEO of Albany International Corporation.

The Charitable Foundation’s Board of Directors is the governing board for the statewide nonprofit, overseeing grantmaking, finances, stewardship of philanthropic resources and Foundation initiatives. The board’s 14 members are leaders with substantial experience and accomplishments in the public, private and nonprofit sectors in New Hampshire.

JerriAnne Boggis is the executive director of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire, the founder and director of The Harriet Wilson Project, and the previous director of diversity programs and community outreach at the University of New Hampshire.

Boggis was named one of 25 Extraordinary Women of Southern New Hampshire by the Nashua Telegraph in 2015; named the 2017 Freedom Fighter by Seacoast NAACP; and in 2015, she was named one of the 40 most influential New Hampshirites by New Hampshire Humanities.

Boggis also serves on the advisory board of the New Hampshire chapter of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission and on the University of New Hampshire’s Commission on the Status of People of Color.

Joseph Morone is the recently retired president and CEO of Albany International Corporation in Rochester. Albany International was one of the first businesses to help support the Charitable Foundation’s efforts to create more affordable and accessible pathways to good careers for New Hampshire students, as part of the Foundation’s New Hampshire Tomorrow initiative to increase opportunities for New Hampshire youth.

Morone served as president of Bentley University from 1997 to 2005 and was a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He also served as a senior policy analyst at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

‘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.
