Good Health and Realized Potential for All
Endowment for Health Receives $7 Million Gift from MacKenzie Scott Foundation; First Round of Awards Made to NH Community Organizations Totaling $947,500
A Future Bold Enough to Match the Times
The Endowment for Health works to improve the health and reduce the burden of illness for the people of New Hampshire, especially the vulnerable and underserved. We envision a future where all people who call New Hampshire their home are happy, healthy and thriving. A future where healthy aging is easy, and every child has what they need to grow to be their best self. A future where differences among our people are welcomed and celebrated. A future where geography and circumstances do not define our wellbeing. A future of hopeful possibilities. Join us.
Equitable Childcare Access
All families need and deserve access to quality, affordable childcare in order to thrive socially and economically. Bobbie Bagley, Director of Public Health and Community Services for the City of Nashua, discusses the Child Trends research project to raise up the voices of families from New Hampshire’s communities of color while building trust through the use of community health workers.
Children's Behavioral Health
Mental health - social-emotional well-being - is fundamental to overall health and an important contributor to a child's success in school and in adulthood.
Early Childhood
Scientific research demonstrates the importance of early childhood experiences to healthy development and health outcomes. Early childhood experiences literally shape the brain’s architecture, establishing either a sturdy or fragile base for all the learning, health and behavior that follows.
Health Equity
Everyone in NH deserves a fair opportunity for health. We support initiatives to build welcoming, equitable and healthy communities.
Health Policy
Working with others to enable policy and systems changes that are advancing some of the most critical health matters facing New Hampshire’s residents.
Healthy Aging
Age-friendly communities are places that work for us at every age and stage of life. We support the NH Alliance for Healthy Aging as it creates a new conversation about healthy aging and advances policies and practices to support all of us as we age.
Opportunity Grants
The Opportunity Grants program was established to meet community needs and opportunities outside the scope of the Endowment’s priority areas. Opportunity Grant applications are due on the last day of each month. Applicants can anticipate a decision within 6 weeks of the deadline.
