CONCORD (PRESS RELEASE) – NH Gives , New Hampshire’s single largest day of giving set to take place on June 8 and 9, is getting a boost thanks to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and its donors.
To encourage other donors to give during the 24-hour event, the Charitable Foundation and its donors will contribute a $300,000 site-wide match, a $19,000 match for participating Upper Valley nonprofits and an additional $119,000 in matches to specific participating nonprofits.
Since the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits launched NH Gives in 2016, the event has raised more than $4.8 million from thousands of donors to support hundreds of nonprofits across New Hampshire. In June 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 public health crisis, NH Gives shattered all previous records, raising more for New Hampshire nonprofits than it had in the previous four years combined. An unprecedented 14,000 people gave $3.4 million to nearly 500 nonprofits in just 24 hours — including $1 million in the first eight minutes of the event.
