For more than a century, Granite United Way reached donors at their workplaces or in their living rooms with traditional face-to-face conversations. Now with benefactors sitting tight in their homes to buffer against the coronavirus, CEO Patrick Tufts finds himself broadcasting to 300 boxes on a Zoom screen from his office.
Tufts, a fundraising veteran, laments the loss of that personal connection. It is challenging to maintain contact with people who still depend on a paper pledge card.

NewsMatch 2020 was a resounding success for the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism because of you, our readers and our donors. You donated $31,332 from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. And possibly more as there are probably still checks in the mail that will be counted if dated no later than Dec. 31. NH Center For Public Interest Journalism, 38 Edgewater Drive, Barrington, N.H.
