We are focused on building the capacity of New Hampshire communities to be strong, resilient, vibrant places through investments in people, institutions and systems. This includes the capacity to both proactively and reactively address social, economic and environmental challenges.
In State Fiscal Year 2024, CDFA infused $25.6 million into New Hampshire communities, supported 117 community-based initiatives and organizations across the state, and engaged 152 business donors. Business donors remained committed to making investments in New Hampshire communities despite continued economic uncertainty.
With the support of our business, non-profit and municipal partners, CDFA continues to work towards its strategy to increase annual investments into New Hampshire communities. Learn more about our goals to maximize CDFA’s impact in our Living Strategic Plan.
