One of the most significant accomplishments of the past year was the foundation’s successful launch of the New Hampshire Children’s Health Dashboard.
Equally important was our commitment to listening. In preparation for our May Board retreat, we undertook a robust qualitative assessment to ensure that community voices remained central to our work.
Additionally noteworthy was our response to the challenging political landscape and uncertainty around state and federal funding. The foundation’s board approved the establishment of an Emergency Funding initiative—an important step toward addressing the urgent and unforeseen needs among our nonprofit partners that threaten children’s health and stability.
We made 17 grants totaling more than $450,000 to nonprofit organizations with that effort alone.
