Information + Inspiration: 2019 Charitable Giving Guide

New Hampshire Business Review's annual giving guide helps spread the word about the great work of New Hamsphire's nonprofit sector

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

Giving is always in season, and New Hampshire Business Review’s annual giving guide provides information and inspiration year-round.

The 2019 Charitable Giving Guide includes profiles of New Hampshire nonprofits, plus a how-to by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Laura Rauscher about how “charitable mission statements” can help people, families and businesses make their giving more effective, rewarding and joyful.

Read about how Eastern Bank supports life-changing scholarships, and how the Amato family of Milford is helping kids in their community — while also involving their own children and grandchildren in giving.

The Charitable Foundation is a founding partner of the Giving Guide, and sponsors the annual publication. This year’s sponsors also include Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, the Concord Hospital Trust, and Sheehan Phinney.

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

Remembering Harold Janeway

Few people have given greater service to — or had a greater impact on — the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation than Harold Janeway. He was a beloved member of the Foundation community who will be profoundly missed. "When I think about Harold, I will always think of his ability to gently ask hard questions, his humor, his vision, his patience when it was appropriate and impatience when it was not,” said Foundation President and CEO Richard Ober. “I think there are two words that tie all that together — wisdom and love.”
