New Hampshire's nonprofit sector in {current_year} is a significant economic force and a critical partner to the state government in delivering essential health and human services. Nonprofits face challenges from a tightening state budget, an aging population, and a workforce shortage.

The grant landscape in New Hampshire is dominated by two major players: a powerful, state-wide charitable foundation and the state's largest health-conversion foundation. These two organizations are the primary sources of private and philanthropic funding in the state for projects, operations, and health-equity initiatives.

To secure nonprofit grants in New Hampshire, organizations should connect with the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits. The most effective strategy is to "speak the language" of the state's two major funders, aligning proposals with their specific community and health-equity frameworks.
