A child care center where there was none. A dental practice open to all with upgraded equipment to better serve its patients. Key sectors of the local economy getting a significant boost. A teacher who is the “heart” of her school, recognized for her fierce dedication to her students. Small businesses getting the technical assistance they need to succeed. Young people taking on leadership roles in their communities. A mobile STEM lab, travelling to schools to teach kids creative problem-solving skills.
And so much more.
The Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation made more than 70 grants totaling $3.3 million in 2018. The 2018 Report to the Community tells the stories of just a few of them.
The Charitable Foundation is honored to steward the legacy of the Tillotsons, and to be able to help the North Country and surrounding regions to thrive.

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.
