About Us

Since 2001, the Endowment for Health has awarded more than 1,800 grants totaling over $77 million to support health-related programs throughout New Hampshire. As an unbiased, nonpartisan catalyst, we work alongside communities and organizations to inspire collective action and ensure that every Granite Stater has a say in shaping their communities, health, and opportunities.

Our Values

To improve the health and reduce the burden of illness for the people of New Hampshire – especially the vulnerable and underserved.

We envision a culture that supports the physical, mental and social well-being of all people – through every stage of life. 

New Hampshire’s prosperity depends on healthy people, strong families and vibrant communities. We define health broadly: “Health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being – not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” (World Health Organization)

 

What do we mean when we speak of New Hampshire's people? As a foundation, we address the needs of specific populations and communities rather than the needs of individuals. We have both a community and state-wide focus as we work to improve healthcare systems that will benefit vulnerable and underserved residents in our state.

We promote equity and fairness in all our actions and decisions

We approach our work with compassion and understanding

We work in partnership with the people of New Hampshire

We have the courage to live up to our mission

We will treat everyone with respect

We act with integrity in our operations, relationships, and financial transactions
