To build healthier communities for all by leading partnerships, fostering collaboration, and creating innovative solutions to advance health and health care.
Two $10,000,000 grants to the State of New Hampshire for the Governor's Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs stand out in the recent record and define the foundation's role in public health coordination. Foundation for Healthy Communities backs statewide work that touches population health, behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, access to care, quality and patient safety, advance care planning, emergency preparedness, and community health improvement. The recent grants also show steady operating support for hospitals and community health organizations across New Hampshire, including The Doorway At Concord-Riverbend, Littleton Regional Healthcare, and Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital. That mix points to a funder that supports both state-level policy and direct service systems. The organization’s stated purpose is to build healthier communities for all by leading partnerships, fostering collaboration, and creating innovative solutions to advance health and health care. Its grant history reflects that purpose through large, repeated awards to public-sector and provider partners working on health access and substance-use related coordination. The pattern is local, concentrated in New Hampshire, and centered on health system capacity and public health infrastructure rather than individual awards or project-specific competitions.
In substance use and public health policy, the foundation gave $10,000,000 in 2023 and another $10,000,000 in 2024 to the State of New Hampshire for the Governor's Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs. That is the clearest example of its support for addiction policy and commission work. In health care access, it gave $555,922 to The Doorway At Concord-Riverbend for general operations and $491,175 to The Doorway of Greater Manchester for general operations, showing support for community access points tied to substance-use services. In hospital and system support, the foundation awarded $474,929 to Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital and $437,530 to Weeks Medical Center for general operations, both in New Hampshire. The grants also include ongoing support for large medical centers such as Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
Typical grant size is $53,672 at the 25th percentile, $137,649 at the median, and $280,116 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows a mix of large statewide awards and recurring operating support to health systems and community providers. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including the State of New Hampshire, Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Valley Regional Hospital, Littleton Regional Healthcare, and Weeks Medical Center. The foundation’s philosophy tags point to general operating support, unrestricted support, and public sector or government agency support. It also makes unsolicited applications available through its Rural Health Transformation Program.
