Ensuring that all New Hampshire children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
A single $115,720 PDG grant to United Way of Massachusetts Bay Inc. stands out in Early Learning New Hampshire’s recent grant record, alongside a cluster of $57,860 awards to New Hampshire organizations working with young children and families. That pattern fits a funder focused on early childhood education, child care workforce development, child care program supports and shared services, family engagement, and policy advocacy for child care. The foundation’s grants are tied to New Hampshire children from birth to school age, families of young children, early childhood educators, and child care and early learning organizations. Its stated purpose is to help ensure that all New Hampshire children have the opportunity to reach their full potential. In practice, the recent grants show support for local community-based providers and intermediary organizations rather than individuals. The grant list also includes recipients in Concord, Claremont, Keene, Laconia, Nashua, Randolph, Tilton, and Conway, showing a statewide pattern of support through local partners. As a public charity with annual grants of $636,460 and total assets of $424,086, Early Learning New Hampshire operates at a modest scale with a concentrated local giving footprint.
In early childhood education, Early Learning New Hampshire backed organizations such as Concord School District with a $57,860 PDG grant, showing support for programs connected to young children and school readiness. Family-facing support also appears in awards to Greater Tilton Area Family Resource Ctr and Lakes Region Community Service, both at $57,860, which points to work with families of young children through local community organizations. Workforce and sector support are part of the picture as well: the foundation’s focus areas include child care workforce development and child care program supports and shared services. Its active SELA membership and SELA Premium platform reinforces that emphasis through shared services, cost savings, and quality supports for New Hampshire early learning providers. Policy advocacy is another stated area of work, alongside public support for child care workforce retention and recruitment funding in the state.
Typical grant size is uniform in the recent data: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are all $57,860. The recent grant list also includes one larger award of $115,720, but the main pattern is repeated grants at the same level. The foundation is a public charity, and the available grant sample shows support going to organizations rather than individuals. Its giving is local, with 90% of grants going to recipients in New Hampshire and the remaining grant landing in Massachusetts. The 2023 grants suggest a programmatic, statewide distribution through community partners rather than one-off gifts to individuals or PRIs.
