New Hampshire Tomorrow 2017 Progress Report

Progress made for New Hampshire kids on scholarships, advocacy, early education quality improvements and more

By Lois R. Shea, Senior Writer and Content Manager  |  

New Hampshire Tomorrow is the Charitable Foundation’s 10-year $100-million initiative to increase opportunities for New Hampshire kids.

Too many New Hampshire children do not have access to opportunities that allow them to thrive. Children who thrive today have the chance to grow into the thriving adults who will sustain our communities tomorrow.

Please see our New Hampshire Tomorrow 2017 Progress Report for a look at investments and progress made in 2017.
