Summary
In New Hampshire and some neighboring areas, there are several grant opportunities designed to help communities, organizations, and individuals thrive.

These awards encourage creative approaches, collaboration between groups, and projects that have a meaningful impact. Funding for these types of projects varies, sometimes reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars across multiple recipients during the year.

They can be used to cover operational costs, launch new programs, or provide direct assistance to those who need it most. With a focus on community improvement, equity, and access, these opportunities help strengthen programs, create meaningful change, and make a positive difference for residents across the region.
