Ideal Applicant
A New Hampshire–based nonprofit (education, human services, arts/culture or community services) with an established local presence seeking general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in New Hampshire or has a strong in‑state program.
- • Mission aligns with education, human services, arts, or community service.
- • Seeks general operating support rather than a first-time unsolicited project grant.
- • Has an existing relationship with local intermediaries or previous grantees (e.g., state community foundation or United Way).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state, with about 87% of dollars staying in New Hampshire in the latest year despite a few out-of-state payments.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 24 distinct recipients across education, human services, arts and other local causes, and the portfolio includes both small and several larger grants, indicating a broad recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct application routes are not public and the foundation states it funds only preselected organizations, which limits unsolicited entry; however, 11 of 24 grantees in the latest year were new, so new entrants do appear to be added via invitation or relationship pathways rather than an open application process.
