United Ways across New Hampshire fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community. Each independent United Way is committed to advancing the common good by leveraging the caring power of the community; addressing critical issues like the housing, education, food insecurity, mental health and recovery issues in our state; providing access to programs for struggling families; and other complex issues. Together, they support 211 NH, an information and referral call center that connects NH residents with resources.
Fundraising Events/Opportunities:
Each individual United Way mobilizes tens of thousands of donors across the state and they collectively raise nearly $17 million. United Way has a unique structure where dollars raised across the state are invested locally, and decisions about how those dollars are spent are made by local volunteers in each community.
Giving Opportunities:
During the annual campaign, United Way partners with tens of thousands of donors, corporate and community foundations, and employee giving campaigns in local and national companies to raise millions of dollars to address critical needs in our communities. One of the easiest ways to give is online.
Volunteer Opportunities:
When you volunteer through United Way in New Hampshire, you’re joining thousands of people who are giving back so others can get ahead. Donate your time and talent by volunteering as a board member or committee member, volunteering to help raise funds for your community, participating in Day of Caring events, serving as a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program volunteer or providing administrative assistance in your local United Way office.
