New Hampshire Nonprofits
Social justice, the societal freedom of LGBTQIA+ individuals, and environmental preservation are common causes for New Hampshire’s nonprofits. Through the promotions of these goals, the three nonprofits listed below earned years of positive reviews and changed thousands of lives.
The Water Project
Finding clean, drinkable water in sub-Saharan Africa can prove challenging or impossible for many villages and families. Founded in New Hampshire, The Water Project works to provide these areas with clean water and the means to access it for years to come. Donations made to this nonprofit fund emergency deliveries of clean water in addition to well construction and ongoing maintenance to ensure water keeps flowing — even in the remotest villages. The Water Project believes access to clean water is a human right so makes it a priority to get it to those in need.
Seacoast Outright
While the rights and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ individuals in the United States have come a long way in the past decade, many within this community are still made to feel ashamed or unwanted by others. Founded in 1993, Seacoast Outright provides a safe and inclusive environment where people of any gender or orientation can be themselves. In addition to its annual Pride festivities and celebrations, this nonprofit also offers programs to celebrate queer culture and the accomplishments made by the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether someone needs counseling, community, or simply a place to freely be themselves, Seacoast Outright is there to help.
World Fellowship Center
The World Fellowship Center (WFC) provides education and resources on matters of social justice and environmentalism while connecting people with nature. Its programs bring people into New Hampshire’s forests so they can participate in educational activities that highlight specific world issues and advocate for the serious change possible when people work together. WFC’s ultimate goals include stamping out racism and preserving the environment, and it works toward them by educating as many people as possible and connecting like-minded individuals with one another.
