Building Hope seeks 2018 project applicants, I-93 expansion overview in Concord … and more
New Hampshire non-profits have an opportunity to get a major helping hand as Building On Hope, a New Hampshire-based organization of volunteers who provide renovations to deserving nonprofits, launches a search for its next renovation project.
Building On Hope is accepting submissions from in-state nonprofits organizations in need of significant improvements to facilities they operate.
To meet the criteria, the organization must be a 501(c)(3), own their facility and be located within 20 miles of Manchester. To be considered for Building on Hope’s 2018 project, organizations must compose a letter describing the nonprofit’s mission and programs and how they benefit the community as well as explain the renovation work that is needed and how a remodeled structure could transform the organization and its services.
All letters should be emailed to Karen Van Der Beken at kvanderbeken@eastersealsnh.org by Dec. 31.
