NH BUSINESS REVIEW A letter from
For the last few years — particularly since the pandemic began — I have written in the introduction to our annual Charitable Giving Guide about the acute difficulties our state’s nonprofits have faced as the problems they tackle have only increased in magnitude.
Once again, the needs of nonprofits and the people they serve should remain top of mind for all of us. That’s because the organizations listed in this publication — and hundreds of others more — are providing health care, services for those who are housing-insecure, food and safety for children and families, and so many other forms of assistance and comfort. They fill a gigantic need for New Hampshire, one that has only grown.
Nonprofits have always been essential to New Hampshire’s economy and culture. The assistance and support they offer are crucial to the well-being of the entire state. They make the Granite State a better place to live and work. And they need our support.
The goal of the Charitable Giving Guide is to be a tool for nonprofits to get their message out to engage individuals and businesses throughout the Granite State. NH Business Review wants to give our readers a chance to learn more about the missions and services of many of the Granite State’s most essential nonprofits. We hope it will inspire you to contribute your time, talent and money to support the many nonprofits that strive every day to strengthen New Hampshire’s community and make it a better place.
We hope the mission of these organizations will lead you and your company to contribute in some way to make a difference. Your support has never been more crucial.

NEW HAMPSHIRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION A letter from
New Hampshire asks a lot of the nonprofit sector.
We ask nonprofits to teach our youngest children and to care for our elders. We ask them to feed struggling families and to shelter homeless veterans. We ask them to provide our communities with arts and with open space. We ask them to report the news with accuracy and diligence. We ask them to help protect democracy and promote civil discourse. We ask them to advance equity and work toward justice.
In short, we ask nonprofits to make New Hampshire a community where we can all thrive, together.
And in the past couple years, New Hampshire has asked even more. We have asked them do all of those things, but also to adapt and adapt again during a global pandemic. We asked them to not only continue to meet their missions, but to expand and reshape their work in the face of complex and increased community need. We have asked them to help us rebuild and reconnect. We are asking them now to maintain and expand their levels of service — all while also facing a worker shortage, rising utility rates and a pandemic that remains a threat.
In return, they ask for help so they can keep providing us with the thousands of services and programs that make New Hampshire better for everyone. If you have $10 to give or $10,000, your generosity matters to New Hampshire nonprofits. Look through this guide, look around New Hampshire, and please give what you can, as frequently as you can, to support the organizations that give so much to all of us.
DICK OBER President and CEO New Hampshire Charitable FoundationA letter from
HARVARD PILGRIM HEALTH CARE
As we take this opportunity to reflect on the dedication of the members of New Hampshire’s nonprofit community, we also celebrate those who continue to demonstrate resilience and compassion in the face of ongoing uncertainty. And as New Hampshire’s local, nonprofit health plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care’s purpose goes beyond just providing insurance coverage. It centers around helping individuals in our communities to live healthier lives, and is engrained into the heart of our organization, our employees and our decision-making. It centers on putting people first.
The health and well-being of New Hampshire communities are vitally important to us. More than 150 of our employees live, work and play here. In 2021, local employees supported community nonprofits with donations to 50+ New Hampshire organizations, as well as 200 volunteer hours. Through the Foundation of our parent company, Point32Health, we’ve invested more than $1.4 million in New Hampshire nonprofits in 2021 who are helping to increase access to fresh, healthy food, and making health care more equitable, because we understand the value healthy communities bring to our state.
To those who are making a positive change to our community and our state, we appreciate you and your commitment. Thank you for making New Hampshire a better place to live.
KATE SKOUTERIS Vice President Harvard Pilgrim Health CareA letter from
NEW HAMPSHIRE HUMANE SOCIETY
For 122 years, New Hampshire Humane Society has been tireless in our mission of compassion. We have saved more than 100,000 pets during that time. Tears are certainly part of the journey in this difficult work, but there is also tremendous joy. We reunite families with lost pets, bring love to families when they decide to adopt, and we provide essential supplies and resources for families experiencing hardship. We do this work, because we know every loving pet deserves a loving home and family.
Our programs are at the core of everything we do and embody our philosophy of kindness and compassion. The Senior Project focuses on finding homes for senior pets and/or finding loving pet companions for senior citizens. Telling Tails is a reading program for youth to improve reading skills while providing social time for shelter pets. Dog For A Day offers brief, fun outings for our canine residents with volunteers who want to share some love with pups in need of care and attention. And our Pet Transport Program prevents euthanasia by rescuing pets from overpopulated shelters.
We have numerous other programs that save lives and bring more love to pets and families throughout New England. To volunteer, email Lis@ nhhumane.org. For sponsorship opportunities, email Kendra@nhhumane. org. To learn about our philosophy of kindness and to see the work firsthand, contact me at charles@nhhumane.org. We would love to share more with you about this important mission and how you can be part of this lifesaving work.
I hope you will join us May 1, 2023, for our annual COMPASSION Golf Tournament at Laconia Country Club or September 23, 2023, for our annual BE A HERO 5k run/walk at Castle In The Clouds. Sponsors and attendees make our work possible.
Animal welfare organizations exist to save animals that need to be rescued. Pets often come to us having been abandoned, neglected and abused. We provide necessary care and get them to loving homes. Working collaboratively with our 17 municipal partners, New Hampshire Humane Society is the primary animal welfare organization serving more than 400,000 citizens of our great state. Defenseless animals need and deserve kindness and compassion. We can only do it with your help.
Thank you for making compassion and kindness possible.
CHARLES STANTON Executive Director New Hampshire Humane SocietyWHAT TO GIVE? OPERATING SUPPORT!
NEW HAMPSHIRE RELIES HEAVILY ON THE NONPROFIT SECTOR, AND THE NONPROFIT SECTOR RELIES ON ALL OF US TO HELP KEEP OPERATIONS
RUNNING — IN GOOD TIMES AND IN CHALLENGING TIMES.
In the past few years, New Hampshire’s nonprofits have adapted heroically to a landscape where change and crisis have been the constants.
Nonprofits are truly at the heart of civil society. They make communities healthier, happier, safer, more vibrant and prosperous for everyone. New Hampshire relies on nonprofits to pull more weight than they do in other places. And they have continued to pull their weight — and then some — during these unprecedented times.
No matter how good any of our contingency plans are, the last three years have been tough. In response, nonprofits have adapted — and then adapted again — to serve community needs: feeding struggling families; protecting democracy and promoting civil rights; caring for natural resources in the face of a climate crisis; mentoring and caring for young people — and so much more.
A key element to helping nonprofits meet pressing community needs is flexible operating support. Nonprofits not only need support from generous people, but they need support that funds their whole missions, not just specific programs or projects, in the face of complex and changing needs.
When a brand-new accessible nature trail is severely damaged by an extreme storm, the nonprofit that built it needs to be able to keep paying their staff and rent while they rebuild. When a food pantry’s walk-in cooler stops working, they need to be able to pay the repair person. When nonprofits that promote equity and justice are suddenly faced with protests and threats, they have to support their staff to keep doing the work. And in this era of increased costs of utilities, nonprofits that do so much for our communities simply need to be able to keep the lights and heat on.
The Charitable Foundation encourages generous people to offer flexible operating support to nonprofits — whether they have $25 to donate or $250,000. That kind of support allows nonprofits to simply get on with the work that needs doing.
At the Foundation, we work every day with the dedicated professionals who make New Hampshire’s nonprofits run. They know their missions, and their operations, and their communities. And they know what they need.
Pre-pandemic — and again in 2022 — the Foundation surveyed New Hampshire nonprofits about their needs, with help from the Center for Effective Philanthropy. One message came through loud and clear: Nonprofits need unrestricted operating support, year over year. That was true before the health crisis that rocked all of our communities — and that truth has only been underscored since.
ByWilliam Abbott, senior philanthropy officer, and Roslind Erwin, senior program officer, at the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
The Foundation shifted its Community Grants program to solely multi-year operating support in 2018. We encourage people who hold donor-advised funds at the Foundation to do the same.
That change, one nonprofit partner recently reported, “Could not have come at a better time. This helped us keep our staff and operations functioning in difficult times.”
New Hampshire needs nonprofits — in difficult times and in good ones. By giving to support nonprofit missions, you are helping your community to thrive.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation connects generous individuals, families and businesses with pressing community needs and effective ways to give. To learn more, contact Laura Rauscher, director of philanthropy, at 1-800-464-6641 ext. 274.
TURNING NON-CASH ASSETS INTO GOOD
AND COMMUNITIES YOU CARE ABOUT MOST.
When people are donating to charity, cash is typically the first asset they consider giving. And, while cash is certainly a welcome gift to support nonprofit work, gifts of other kinds of assets can also help you maximize your charitable impact.
Many kinds of assets can be converted into good works in the community. Consider:
APPRECIATED SECURITIES: Giving stock directly (rather than selling it and donating the cash) means there is more to give. Because the donor does not incur capital gains tax on the growth, the full value of the securities goes directly to good works.
REAL ESTATE: Direct donation of real estate, similarly, can make for a donation with a larger impact than a donation made after a sale.
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY: Assets like jewelry, art or antiques can be donated to a nonprofit to be sold at auction or by a professional who knows the market, with the proceeds supporting the work of that nonprofit. (If the donated assets exceed $5,000, the IRS requires an independent appraisal to support the charitable deduction.)
ROYALTIES AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS: Artists and inventors receive residual income from their creations. That income can be directed to a nonprofit as a donation.
CLOSELY HELD
By Richard Peck, vice president of development and philanthropic services, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
INTERESTS/PARTNERSHIPS/INTERESTS IN LLCS: Gifts of non-publicly traded stock can be made directly to a nonprofit. Donating stock pre-sale can be a good option when considering the sale of a business. The nonprofit can then sell the stock, without incurring the tax burden, and put the proceeds to work in our communities. Ultimately, this means more charitable dollars are made available to fund vital services.
STOCK/BUSINESS
QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION (QCD): People who are 70½ or older can donate their distribution, up to $100,000 per year, directly to nonprofits without that distribution being subject to income tax. People can also add to their IRA from other tax-deferred retirement assets, such as a 401(k), or 403(b), and then give the resulting IRA distribution to a nonprofit.
While cash is a terrific asset to use for making charitable donations, it is also important to know that there are ways to donate illiquid assets that often lead to even greater charitable impact.
Your trusted CPA, wealth advisor, attorney, real estate expert, appraiser or auctioneer can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to consider such an asset for donation.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation connects generous individuals, families and businesses with pressing community needs and effective ways to give. To learn more, contact Richard Peck at 1-800464-6641 ext. 265.

2023 Goals:
To raise $250,000 and expand our reach in programming to youth and families in our communities. This expanded programming will give youth hands-on opportunities to try new things and/or build upon existing creative skills. These goals will require us to hire more staff and mentors and create an ongoing holistic alternative to mental health care and hospitalization. We will be able to continue to provide a safe place for after-school activities and programming that build creativity, confidence and resilience. Due to environmental stressors, supporting youth who suffer from suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors and substance misuse is greater than ever.
Fundraising Events:
Our fundraising events and opportunities allow us to build better relationships within our community as well as increase exposure of what Austin17House does. We have two major fundraising events during the year including our June Golf and Dinner Gala, as well as our fall comedy show. Our Golf Gala focuses on raising funds for infrastructure to support programming including community giving, a silent auction and corporate sponsorships. Our Annual Comedy Show, hosted at the Austin17House, brings local awareness and provides members with a tour of the facility and personal meet and greets with our staff, youth and families. The funds raised during this event go to sponsoring our youth and families monthly and annually, to participate at our community center.
Giving Opportunities:
Over 45% of the youth and families that we serve are currently on government assistance. Through community support and fundraising efforts, we have been able to provide a safe place for youth and families to enjoy life, try new things, provide meals and educational workshops surrounding suicide prevention, mental health and addiction treatment and prevention for free! Giving options include individual giving, local business and corporate sponsorships via our website.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Our staff and mentorship model at the Austin17House is the backbone and success of our programming. We provide mental health and social-determinant trainings for our team, to help them better understand and support the middle and high schoolaged youth and their families who come to our center. From just listening and being a friend, to teaching simple skills in the kitchen, creative arts, wellness, life skills, etc., it all meets the criteria of our volunteers. This year, we plan to expand our program offerings and build on our current programs in creative arts, wellness, recreation, life skills and youth addiction support services.

Before she’s spacewalking, using her voice for change, conquering that Grand Slam or winning Grammys, she’s a Girl Scout. Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains prepares her for a lifetime of leadership — from lobbying the city council with her troop to holding a seat in Congress; from running her own cookie business today to tackling cybersecurity tomorrow. Girl Scouts is a place where she’ll practice different skills, explore her potential, take on leadership positions — and even feel allowed to fail, dust herself off, get up and try again. We will continue to widen our reach by ensuring that the benefits of Girl Scouts are available to all through financial assistance, programs run in partnership with community organizations and after-school programs, and expanding our online programs. Girl Scouts takes her potential, combines it with robust skill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models to build girls who make the world a better place.
Engagement Opportunities:
Girls are the leaders and innovators that our future world requires, and being Girl Scouts gives them the tools they need to succeed. With your help, we can continue to create and optimize an environment where girls explore freely, expand their perspectives and discover the unimaginable.
Whether in person or online, volunteers are critical to our activities, such as the Girl Scout Cookie program. They teach financial literacy and life skills. Partnership opportunities include our Young Women of Distinction celebrations and GIRL Expo. You can support Girl Scout initiatives in STEM, outdoor adventures, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and Girl Assistance programs.
Giving Opportunities:
Our individual and corporate donors have been generous and have made a direct and positive impact on Girl Scouts across New Hampshire and Vermont. Giving opportunities include, but are not limited to: supporting the continued growth of our membership through program expansion and facility improvements; Girl Assistance Fund and Campership Assistance, providing Girl Scouting to girls regardless of their family’s economic circumstances; Gift of Caring and Hometown Heroes programs, donating Girl Scout Cookies to front-line workers and military service members; matching gifts through employer contributions; and planned giving through memorial gifts and our Juliette Gordon Low Society.

For more than 150 years, Spaulding Academy & Family Services has supported children with special needs and their families. As a leading provider of educational, residential, therapeutic, and foster care programs and services for children and youth with neurological, emotional, behavioral, learning or developmental challenges — including autism spectrum disorder — and those who have experienced significant trauma, abuse or neglect, we continually work toward delivering high-quality care and a culture based on kindness. We plan to advance our services and staff opportunities in the year ahead.
Fundraising Events:
In addition to participating in Giving Tuesday, NH Gives and AmazonSmile, Spaulding Academy & Family Services actively identifies ways to connect with individuals and companies who wish to support the children and families we serve. These opportunities include our ongoing fundraising appeal to contribute to the creation of one of New England’s largest adaptive playgrounds (currently in progress on-campus), complete with sensory-friendly equipment that will allow children of all abilities to share in cooperative play, build friendships and make memories. An exciting addition to Spaulding Academy is also underway. The campus kitchen and dining room will move to the school, and more classrooms, meeting spaces, offices, and a technology and innovation space are being constructed.
Giving Opportunities:
As public funding covers 90% of essential living, clinical and educational expenses, every dollar donated to Spaulding Academy & Family Services has a profound impact on each child we serve. Private donation opportunities include unrestricted or restricted gifts, gifts of goods and services, matching gifts, stock, tribute or memorial gifts and lifetime gift planning. We welcome opportunities to design custom packages to support professional or personal giving goals. In addition, our website includes the ability to donate securely and conveniently online.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We cherish volunteers who would like to give the gift of time and service to our children. Volunteer opportunities are abundant both on the Spaulding Academy & Family Services campus and in our community. We welcome discussions about your ideas and personal interests to develop a custom opportunity that achieves your personal or professional volunteer goals. Whether you have a personal talent, a community connection, a corporate service day, or wish to dedicate time toward charitable activities, we look forward to providing a rewarding volunteer opportunity for you.

New Hampshire Humane Society
2023 Goals:
In 2023, New Hampshire Humane Society is planning an expansion of our municipal partnerships so we can support even more of the region. We will also increase animal transport numbers so we can save more homeless pets from euthanasia. We will expand animal investigations, and we will continue to take aggressive action against abuse, neglect, and unethical breeding. The New Hampshire Humane Society team will also increase our programs and services to provide even more support for families seeking to adopt or who need help with the family pets they love. We have been and will continue to be a reliable and trusted resource for families who need us.

New Hampshire Humane Society is all about second chances. We are dedicated to finding loving families for homeless pets and providing temporary shelter and care for lost or abandoned pets. We advocate for the humane and kind treatment of animals, each other and the environment. We offer educational programs, provide community services, promote responsible pet care, and we honor the human-animal bond. We work tirelessly to prevent cruelty to animals and work to forge a more humane and kind community.

Fundraising Events:
The lifesaving work of New Hampshire Humane Society would not be possible without community support. Individuals attend events and donate, and generous regional businesses sponsor our public events and our community programs. That financial support allows us to reach more families and more pets who need our help. 2023 events will include a continuation of our New England Social Series (nhhumane. org/social), an event series sponsored by Eastern Propane & Oil. We have also planned for the return of our annual Be a Hero 5k Run/Walk (nhhumane.org/hero) on Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Castle in the Clouds. New England’s official start of the golf season — New Hampshire Humane’s annual Compassion Tournament (nhhumane.org/golf) will be May 1, 2023. Find out more at nhhumane.org
Giving Opportunities:
With thousands of animals coming through our doors, the demands and needs are intense at times. We always need crunchy cat treats, mini milkbones, small dog training treats and a variety of other supplies. You can reach out to us to find out the current needs by emailing reception@nhhumane.org.
Since most of our needs vary from animal to animal, financial support ensures we can get the medication, surgical needs or any specialty needs to get an animal back to health. For more information about how you can help, contact Kendra@nhhumane.org
Volunteer Opportunities:
We always need volunteers to assist with cleaning, walking dogs, giving the animals love and attention, or assisting with events and programs. Our key programs include our volunteer and foster programs, Telling Tails (reading to pets program), and Dog For a Day (our canine socialization program). Find out more at nhhumane.org/volunteer or email Lis@nhhumane.org.
