The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has been the go-to philanthropic resource for generous New Hampshire people since 1962. A new resource guide explains why, and how the Charitable Foundation helps people make a real difference in communities they love.

How Mike and Sheila Satzow, whose family business descended from Mike’s Russian-immigrant grandfather’s butcher shop, created and grew a fund to support the community that had been so good to the Satzow family.

How Bonnie Draper learned about the needs of kids in her community, and supported local mentoring and enrichment programs that help every kid “walk around with their head held high.”

How Sue Wyman helps young people from Berlin afford college.

And more.
