New Hampshire Women's Foundation

The New Hampshire Women's Foundation is a comprehensive resource for advancing gender equality and opportunity across the Granite State. Based in Concord, NH, the organization delivers transformative services through five core areas of expertise: research, advocacy, education, grantmaking, and philanthropy. The Foundation serves as a trusted source of high-quality data with a gender lens, publishing flagship reports including The Status of Women in New Hampshire, The Status of Girls in New Hampshire, and Gender Matters: Women and Aging in New Hampshire—publications that inform public dialogue and shape equitable statewide policymaking. Through its nonpartisan Women Run! program, the Foundation empowers and trains women to run for state and local elected office, providing the education and support necessary for increased female representation in government. The organization's advocacy efforts focus on carefully selected legislation with the greatest potential to significantly impact Granite State women and girls, while its Community Grantmaking program strategically invests in organizations and initiatives serving New Hampshire's women and girls. Additionally, the Foundation manages specialized funds including the Reproductive and Sexual Health Care Access Fund and the Women and Girls of Color Fund, ensuring targeted support reaches those facing the greatest barriers. With roots tracing back to 2014, when five established women's organizations merged to create a unified voice, the Foundation combines over 100 years of collective expertise in philanthropy, research, policy, and advocacy to drive meaningful change throughout New Hampshire's communities.
