We have a staff of 54 passionate and dedicated professionals working across the state, and are governed by a highly engaged Board of Directors.

The Foundation’s purpose is to make New Hampshire a more just, sustainable and vibrant community where everyone can thrive.

That’s because when a community can draw on the potential, strength, ingenuity and grace of every person in it, that community will be healthier, happier, more prosperous and a better place to live for all.
