The mission of the funder, while not explicitly detailed, centers around the restoration, protection, and enhancement of the Connecticut River watershed upstream of the confluence of the White River and Connecticut River. This involves caring for the river, wetlands, and shore lands within this specified area, which is influenced by the broader goal of environmental preservation and restoration, particularly in relation to the impacts of hydroelectric dams.
The Small Grants Program focuses on improving access to care, a priority determined by analyzing community needs assessments from major healthcare providers in the region. It supports nonprofit organizations serving Strafford County residents and addressing access to care issues such as mental health, substance use disorder, food security, housing, senior services, transportation and logistics, culturally appropriate care, service awareness, care coordination, and patient motivation. The program offers up to $10,000 in nonrenewable, one-year general operating support grants.
