New Hampshire Charitable Foundation

Website: https://www.nhcf.org/

Mission & Purpose: To help make New Hampshire a community where everyone can thrive. As the state's community foundation, it manages a large collection of charitable funds and leads strategic initiatives on pressing issues.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is focused on the state of New Hampshire. They support a wide array of nonprofit programs, including arts, education, health, and environmental protection. They have an open Community Grants Program with an annual deadline, and also give priority to organizations whose work addresses basic needs (food security, housing, healthcare access) and promotes racial justice.

Featured Opportunity: The foundation offers a specific Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant. This award provides up to $2,500 in financial support directly to individual visual artists and craftspeople in the Piscataqua Region. The grant is intended to fund a specific project or opportunity that will promote their artistic growth.

Recommendation: New Hampshire nonprofits focused on "basic needs" that serve and collaborate with residents who face barriers to access, such as organizations providing legal aid, food security, or behavioral health supports to marginalized communities.
