The Foundation is grateful to have received two recent honors related to the New Hampshire Tomorrow initiative to increase opportunity for New Hampshire’s kids.
Early Learning NH named the Foundation a 2018 Early Learning NH Champion in April, and the New Hampshire Bureau of Child Development and Head Start Collaboration selected the Foundation to receive a 2018 Mary Stuart Gile Award for helping to build statewide infrastructure in the field of early childhood.
We are deeply honored and grateful for all that these organizations do on behalf of New Hampshire’s kids.
