Description
The DASH Grants Program is administered by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation through its Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund. It provides rapid support for distinct, one-time needs that advance the fund’s vision of revitalizing communities, with a focus on the people and places of Coös County and communities sharing its border.
Supported activities include marketing for a one-time community event, school field trips, consulting for a project or activity, and purchasing or replacing equipment or furniture. The program emphasizes practical improvements rather than ongoing operations or recurring programs. The fund’s broader community investment framework supports well-being, a thriving workforce, a healthy environment, and resilient communities through community-identified and community-driven solutions.
