About the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits 

Vision
It is our vision that the nonprofit sector of New Hampshire will have high-quality, easily accessible capacity building resources, a variety of consistent opportunities for learning, and the support needed to sustain strong leadership that adapts creatively to change.  As a result, the people, communities, and the environment of New Hampshire will thrive.

Mission
The New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits strengthens and gives voice to the state’s nonprofit sector through leadership, collaboration, and learning opportunities.    

Nonprofit organizations are vital to the well-being of the people, communities and environment of New Hampshire.  When nonprofits have strong leaders, are able to adapt to change, are well managed, and have the technical expertise they need, they are able to effectively and efficiently achieve the missions with which our communities have entrusted them.  Founded in 1986, the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits is an association of over 400 member nonprofit organizations who have joined together to strengthen the state's nonprofit sector.  The Center works to increase public awareness of how indispensable nonprofits are to NH's well being. We are dedicated to strengthening the effectiveness of New Hampshire nonprofits by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and tools necessary to enhance their ability to serve the citizens and communities of New Hampshire.
