The foundation primarily provides direct, unrestricted cash assistance to named individuals, with most dollars labeled as "general relief." Grants are concentrated among a very small set of repeat recipients who receive multiple, similarly sized payments. There is no evidence of institutional, programmatic, or geographic diversification in the reported grants.
Highly concentrated: few, relatively large grants directed to a small group of recurring individual recipients; funding is unrestricted and repeated rather than broadly distributed to organizations or new grantees.
Nute Charitable Association C/o Bar Harbor Wealth Management’s recent giving is centered on direct cash support to named individuals and households, with repeated payments to the same Milton-area recipients across multiple years. The pattern is visible in grants such as $9,518 to Jenny Williams and $8,268 to Charlene Gray, Sharon Rawls, Claire Williams, and Carmen Hamel, all in Milton, New Hampshire. In later years, those same households continued to receive support, including $7,335 and $6,500 awards to several of the same names. The foundation also made a smaller number of grants to a local hunger-relief organization, indicating some support beyond individual hardship assistance. The grant records show a local New Hampshire footprint and a narrow recipient base rather than broad programmatic diversification. Because the largest reported gifts are still relatively modest and often repeated, the foundation reads as a source of ongoing personal relief for a small set of recipients rather than a conventional institutional grantmaker. Its reported charitable activity in the latest 990 year totals $155,250, against total assets of $889,215.
Most of the reported support goes to general relief for individuals and families in financial stress. In 2025, the foundation gave $6,500 each to Stephen Dow, Sharon Rawls, Carmen Hamel, Charlene Gray, and Claire Williams, all tied to Milton or Milton Mills, New Hampshire. The same year it awarded $4,000 to David Johnson and $3,900 to Nancy Wing, also for general relief. There is one listed grant coded as general assistance: $2,000 to Shelly Walker in 2025. The grants are overwhelmingly unrestricted in purpose, with the recurring language pointing to hardship response rather than project funding or capital support. A small amount also went to basic-needs work through End 68 Hours of Hunger, which received $5,000 in 2025 and $4,835 in 2024 for general relief.
Typical awards are small: the 25th percentile is $1,438, the median is $2,875, and the 75th percentile is $7,335. The distribution is tightly clustered around modest individual grants, with a few larger payments at the top end. The same recipients appear in multiple years, especially several Milton households and Stephen Dow in Milton Mills, which suggests recurring support rather than one-time aid. The foundation operates as a charitable association managed through Bar Harbor Wealth Management, and the grants shown are all unrestricted or relief-oriented rather than program-restricted. There is no evidence in the provided record of an application process.

Grantmaking is entirely within New Hampshire: 36 grants, or 100%, went to recipients in the state. Milton appears most often among recipient locations, with additional grants in Milton Mills and Somersworth. The recipient geography is narrow and local, matching the foundation’s local giving scope. One named nonprofit recipient is based in Somersworth, while most individual recipients are in Milton.
The grant record is dominated by direct financial assistance to individuals and families, usually labeled general relief. Examples include repeated support to Milton-area households and a separate general assistance grant to Shelly Walker. A smaller portion of the record also supports basic-needs work through End 68 Hours of Hunger in Somersworth.
They are mostly recurring. Several of the same recipients appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Sharon Rawls, Carmen Hamel, Charlene Gray, Claire Williams, and Stephen Dow. The repeated pattern suggests ongoing relief for a small set of households rather than isolated awards.
The typical grant is modest: the 25th percentile is $1,438, the median is $2,875, and the 75th percentile is $7,335. The recent record includes both smaller awards around $2,000 to $4,000 and a few larger payments above $7,000.
All of the listed grants go to recipients in New Hampshire, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Milton is the most common recipient city, with additional grants in Milton Mills and Somersworth.
