    About Mary and John Elliot Charitable Foundation

    The Mary and John Elliot Charitable Foundation centers its giving on Elliot Health System and related programs that expand healthcare options for people in the local community. Its largest recent grants went to The Elliot Hospital of the City of Manchester for cancer services and general support, including $2,239,376 in 2023 and $1,106,790 in 2024. That hospital-level support sits alongside a consistent pattern of funding patient-facing services that reach older adults, homebound residents, and people facing access barriers. Across recent grants, the foundation has backed VNA Home Health and Hospice Services for general support, Amoskeag Health for healthcare needs for uninsured and underinsured patients age 65 and older, and Waypoint for home visits to low-income seniors. It has also supported elder-focused services through Meals on Wheels, vision-loss services, transportation, and social interaction programs. The grant list shows a repeated emphasis on direct service delivery rather than broad, multi-state philanthropy. Grants appear concentrated in Manchester and nearby New Hampshire communities, and the foundation’s named programs point to care for seniors, clinical innovation, and support services that help residents remain in place and access care.

    What Mary and John Elliot Charitable Foundation Funds

    Healthcare access is a defining theme in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it gave $68,332 to Amoskeag Health for health care needs for uninsured and underinsured patients aged 65 and older, following a $50,000 grant in 2023 for increased efficiencies serving the same group. Elder support is another clear area. The foundation awarded $50,000 in 2024 to Waypoint for home visits to low-income seniors to assess needs, coordinate benefits, and develop care plans, and $25,000 in 2023 to Catholic Charities New Hampshire for food, transport, and social interactions for low-income elderly and disabled people in Greater Manchester. Food access appears in its support for St Joseph Community Services, including $35,000 in 2024 to provide meals to current and incoming Meals on Wheels clients. It also gave $10,000 in 2023 to Families in Transition for food pantry and nutrition services.

    How Mary and John Elliot Charitable Foundation Gives

    Typical grants cluster in a mid-five-figure range: the p25 is $25,000, the median is $35,000, and the p75 is $54,583. The recent list also includes one much larger hospital grant, which lifts the upper end of the distribution. The pattern is repetitive rather than one-off: several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2024, including The Elliot Hospital of the City of Manchester, VNA Home Health and Hospice Services, Amoskeag Health, Waypoint, and Easter Seals of New Hampshire. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. One active grant program, Pearl Manor Fund, is administered by an advisory committee and accepts unsolicited requests.
