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 Greater Rochester Community Health Foundation (GRCHF) Targeted Grants Program, operating under the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, focuses on improving health and well-being in Strafford County and adjacent communities. This is done by awarding grants of up to $25,000 to nonprofits concentrating on enhancing access to dental, maternal, and mental/behavioral healthcare. These nonrenewable, one-year grants aim to alleviate the burden of illnesses within the community by supporting projects specifically targeting these critical areas of healthcare. Organizations not serving in the specified health care areas are directed to apply for a small grants program instead.
