The Foundation’s purpose is to make New Hampshire a more just, sustainable and vibrant community where everyone can thrive. Our strategic plan “Together We Thrive” focuses on equity, racial justice and economic security to advance that goal.
In addition to behavioral health, early childhood, and education, Together We Thrive prioritizes two more standalone initiatives: basic human needs and the environment. We also have ongoing programmatic priorities that will cut across these five initiatives, including civic health, scholarships and a racial justice fund to name three.
To better guide program management and evaluation of this work, the Foundation is seeking a consultant to develop a practical, non-prescriptive planning and implementation framework. The final product would be a framework and process that Foundation staff would deploy, not programmatic plans or evaluation of the Foundation’s work.

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.
