The mission of FEEDNH.org Great New Hampshire Restaurants' Charitable Trust is to strengthen New Hampshire communities through philanthropic collaboration, dedicated employee involvement and volunteerism benefiting local Families, Elderly, Education, and Disadvantaged.
Great NH Restaurants Charitable Trust’s giving shows a clear tilt toward New Hampshire career and technical education. In 2024, the trust made a $20,000 general-support grant to Manchester School of Technology, the largest grant in the recent list. That pattern is echoed by multiple $15,000 awards to technical centers and high schools across the state, including Pinkerton Academy CTE in Derry, Portsmouth Career Technical Center, Concord Regional Technical Center, and Dover Regional Career Technical Center. The trust also supports community-based organizations with general operating dollars, such as Operation Delta Dog in Hollis and Family Promise of Greater Concord in Concord. Its mission statement centers New Hampshire families, elderly residents, education, and disadvantaged communities, and the recent grants align closely with that framework. The organization also appears to support youth-oriented learning beyond the classroom, with awards to Girls Inc of New Hampshire, Breakthrough Manchester, and Kreiva Academy Public Charter School. Across the grant list, the trust is consistently funding New Hampshire nonprofits through unrestricted or general support rather than tightly defined project-only awards.
Education is the strongest visible theme in the recent grants. The trust gave $20,000 to Manchester School of Technology for general support, and it also made $15,000 grants to Portsmouth Career Technical Center, Concord Regional Technical Center, Dover Regional Career Technical Center, and other school-based technical programs. Another set of grants points to family stability and basic needs. In 2025, it gave $10,000 to Family Promise of Greater Concord and another $10,000 to Family Promise of Southern NH, both for general support. It also funded Food for Children Inc with $10,000 in 2025, indicating attention to food-related community needs. Youth development appears in the list as well, through general-support grants to Girls Inc of New Hampshire and Breakthrough Manchester. The trust’s stated focus on families, elderly, education, and disadvantaged populations matches these grant purposes closely.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the mid-teens: p25 is $10,000, the median is $13,750, and p75 is $15,000. The recent list also includes one larger outlier at $20,000. Grants appear to recur to some recipients across years, including Operation Delta Dog, which received awards in both 2024 and 2025. The trust gives through donation-request programs that are reviewed by its Board of Directors, and one active program notes responses within one week. Its funding is primarily general support and unrestricted core operating support, not program-related investments or individual aid.
