CONCORD (Press Release) – More than $3.3 million was raised for a record-breaking 610 participating New Hampshire nonprofits through NH Gives, an online giving event created by the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits. Almost 14,000 generous people contributed to the effort between 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7.

“NH Gives has become a Granite State tradition — a tradition that shows how much people care about community and how highly they value the work that nonprofits do,” said Kathleen Reardon, CEO of the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits. “Everyone who gave and participated deserves huge thanks. The momentum for NH Gives is something everyone in New Hampshire can be really proud of.”

The event has raised more than $15.5 million for 1,000 New Hampshire nonprofits since it was created in 2016. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, people in New Hampshire responded generously to meet increased needs. Between 2020 and 2022, NH Gives raised more than $10 million for New Hampshire nonprofits.

More than $1.4 million in matching funds and prizes helped to spur donations this year. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and its donors contributed nearly $240,000 in matching funds and prizes and people from around the state contributed more than $1.19 million in additional matching funds for individual organizations. The Charitable Foundation has been the lead sponsor of NH Gives since 2016.

“Thank you, New Hampshire, for continuing to show up for New Hampshire’s nonprofits,” said Kristen Oliveri, vice president for marketing and communications at the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. “The incredible staff at nonprofit organizations get up every day to help make New Hampshire a community where we can all thrive. These 24 hours of giving are proof positive that Granite Staters understand that — and are willing to chip in to make that vision a reality.”

Our Place Housing Solutions for Adults with Developmental Disabilities raised the most in the 24-hour period, with more than $59,386 in donations. The organization, based in Dover, is working to provide housing, services and support for adults with disabilities in the Seacoast area.

The Cornucopia Project in Peterborough attracted the most individual donors, with 487 people contributing to support its mission. The Cornucopia Project provides hands-on nutrition education to children, works in partnership with local elementary schools, runs an educational farm and provides produce to families, food pantries, restaurants and more.

NHGives.org is an easy-to-use platform where people can find causes they care about, donate securely, and become fundraising champions. Participating nonprofits also receive training and marketing support in the months leading up to the event.

NH Gives is supported by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Comcast NBCUniversal, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Eversource, Fidium, MVSB, Century 21, Beth Saunders Associates, Merrimack County Savings Bank, Sprague Energy, Lifeboat Accounting, RHL Strategies, Clear Mission Consulting, Nobel Evaluation, Quality Photo Booths, Andrews Coaching & Consulting and Citizens. Media partners include NH Business Review, New Hampshire Union Leader, Circle Signworx, Keene Sentinel, Manchester Radio Group, Montagne Powers, Grappone Automotive Group, WMUR, and InDepthNH.

UPDATE: When the NH Gives portal closed for 2023 at midnight on June 9, a total of 15,319 people had donated $3,545,548 to 610 New Hampshire nonprofits.

‘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.
