About New Hampshire Democracy Fund
Established in 2020, New Hampshire Democracy Fund focuses on strengthening democratic institutions and civic life in New Hampshire through voting rights, fair elections, civic participation, and local leadership capacity. A large share of its recent support goes to organizations working on voter education, organizing, and election-related advocacy, including a $313,094 grant to The Forward Foundation in 2023 for project support, voter education, and operating support, and a $135,500 grant to Granite State Organizing Project in 2025 for general support. The fund also backs groups that work on healthy democracy and election access, such as America Votes, the ACLU, and Coalition for Open Democracy. Its grantmaking uses both general support and project-specific support, with some awards tied to communications, public awareness, and organizational development.
