Ideal Applicant
A small nonprofit or service provider delivering vision or hearing supports to low-income New Hampshire residents, or a program aligned with Lions Club priorities.
Good Fit
- • Direct services for vision or hearing (hearing aids, cataract surgery, low‑income patient assistance).
- • Located in New Hampshire or serving a substantial NH client base.
- • Clear, modest project or expense requests consistent with prior grant amounts (mostly under $10K with occasional larger awards).
- • Willingness to apply via the mailed application route and to use the foundation's required form.
Geography
In the latest year the foundation concentrated 72% of grant dollars and 78% of awards in its home state, with only limited out‑of‑state giving across three other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct, apparently independent recipients covering hearing aids, cataract surgeries, guide dog training and related services, indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration to a few larger grants.
New Applicants
All 18 recipients in the latest year were new and the foundation publishes application instructions, a named coordinator, and a mailing address, which together suggest a viable entry path for unfamiliar applicants, though long‑term turnover beyond the latest year is limited.
