Empowering Nonprofits to Make a Difference in New Hampshire Communities

Empowering Nonprofits to Make a Difference in New Hampshire Communities

New Hampshire has a lot of nonprofits that do amazing work to help people from all walks of life. Occasionally, those organizations need some help too — specifically in fundraising so they can keep doing what they do.

On this week’s episode of The State We’re In we talk about NH Gives – a 24 hour period where nonprofits across the state get together to raise funds to aid their work. Joining us to share more about NH Gives and what happens on that day is Kathleen Reardon, the CEO of the NH Center for Nonprofits, and Mary Jo Brown, former Board Member of the NH Charitable Foundation, and the founder and president of Brown & Company and Big Brown Books. Disclosure: The Granite State News Collaborative and NHPBS are participating in NH Gives and GSNC is a media sponsor.

Plymouth Voters to Weigh Funding Cuts to Some Local Nonprofits

Plymouth Voters to Weigh Funding Cuts to Some Local Nonprofits

A few local nonprofits will see cuts in support from the town if the 2023-2024 proposed budget is approved at the town meeting on March 14, 2023.

At a recent meeting, selectmen discussed a proposal that would cut just over $6,800 in support to a handful of local nonprofit organizations. After advocates from Pemi Youth Center objected to the town taking away $3,000 of funding it was expecting to receive, the town agreed to reinstate the funds back into this year’s proposed budget, leaving $3,000 to be cut from donations to other local nonprofits. The budget committee and selectboard also recommended adding an additional $3,000 to other nonprofits it supports.
