New Hampshire Charitable Foundation http://www.nhcf.org/
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation serves as a single point of entry for applying to its portfolio of over 1,000 funds created by donors for individualized charitable purposes. The investigator submits a proposal to NHCF directly, or to one of its regional units. The Foundation reviews it, and if accepted, matches the project to the best-suited sponsor.
In addition, NHCF administers the grant programs of several NH foundations to which applications are sent directly.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation is one of the country's largest community foundations, with over $220 million in assets. It awards over 1,600 grants to nonprofits each year, as well as over 2,200 scholarships and loans to individuals, both through its statewide organization and its six regional divisions.
