Charitable Giving Guide encourages support for nonprofits

New Hampshire Business Review's 2023 Charitable Giving Guide encourages people to give to the nonprofits that make New Hampshire better for all of us.

By Lois R. Shea, Senior Writer and Communications Officer  |  

New Hampshire nonprofits are asked to do a lot for the New Hampshire community — from feeding struggling families to reporting the news; from making the arts accessible to protecting open space; from promoting civil discourse to advancing equity and racial justice.

In return, nonprofits ask for help so they can keep providing us with the thousands of services and programs that make New Hampshire better for everyone.

The 2023 Charitable Giving Guide includes profiles of some New Hampshire nonprofits, plus articles by the Charitable Foundation’s William Abbott and Rosalind Erwin about why giving for general operating support is a great way to help New Hampshire nonprofits; and by Rick Peck about the various kinds of assets people can give to support nonprofit work.

The Charitable Foundation is a founding partner of the Giving Guide, and a sponsor of the annual publication.

Kudos to New Hampshire Business Review for inspiring people to give.

Leading with respect, dignity and compassion for people experiencing homelessness

Our greatest challenge continues to be reducing the stigma about people experiencing homelessness. People become homeless for many reasons such as a lack of affordable housing, mental illness, substance abuse disorders, catastrophic illness, natural disasters, unemployment, or working low-wage jobs. They are individuals of all ages, colors, and abilities. They are all human beings, worthy of respect, dignity, and compassion.

Advancing mental health care to strengthen community

A community mental health center is a private not-for-profit with a public mission. We provide a core array of services to the general public — like emergency crisis services — and the treatments and programs that kids or adults need should they have a disabling mental health condition. We do things that no other healthcare provider can do.

Collaboration at the heart of mission

Vital Communities’ mission is to engage people, organizations, and communities to create equitable solutions to our region’s challenges. We are not just an organization, we are a movement with collaboration at the heart of our work. We believe in the strength of our communities and the catalytic effect that occurs when diverse minds unite for a shared purpose.

Pride builds community, belonging

When LGBTQ people can feel safe, they can become part of the larger community, which is better for everyone. When we feel we belong, and know this can be home, that we want to stay here, or to move here, we will fight for that sense of place, and we fight for each other. And because of that, we all thrive together.

Data and research to inform, make a difference

As the executive director of the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute — a nonpartisan, independent policy research nonprofit organization — and a father to two young children, I spend a considerable amount of my professional and personal life thinking about how decisions made in Concord affect lives in communities across this state.

Address individual needs – and build systemic equity

When I was asked to come and chat about what it looks like for New Hampshire to be a New Hampshire for all, where everyone belongs, I was excited because if you know me, you will know I have a lot to say on that topic — because we are not there just yet.
