Are you interested in working with fellow New Hampshire residents to learn more about the barriers to opportunity in the Granite State? Join a team that will listen deeply to community members across the state and ensure that their voices are included in the Charitable Foundation’s next strategic plan.

BY KRISTEN OLIVERI, VICE PRESIDENT OF COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation (learn more about us) is developing its next strategic plan and is committed to learning from a diverse group of people, especially those who have faced barriers to opportunity and whose voices have been historically excluded from important conversations in our communities.

We’re looking for 15 New Hampshire residents from across the state to lead a community listening and research project beginning in April, 2021 and present findings to the Foundation in July, 2021. All of this work will be done remotely; no in-person sessions will be conducted. (Training and other supports will be provided.)

The community researchers will design the research project including what questions will be asked and how information will be gathered from community members. The project will be guided by the following question: “What barriers to opportunity exist for Granite Staters and what could be done to help lower or remove these barriers?”
