New Hampshire will celebrate its first statewide day-of-giving Tuesday. New Hampshire Gives Day will harness the collective power of individuals, communities and businesses to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate the impact of nonprofits in the state. Coordinated by the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits, New Hampshire Gives Day is designed to bring the state together as one community, raising as much money and awareness as possible for New Hampshire’s nonprofits within a 24-hour flash mob of giving. NHGives.org provides citizens across the state with one, easy-to-use platform where they can find a cause and donate securely. To sweeten the deal, the center, with the support of sponsors, will be awarding 17 cash prizes throughout the day. For a list of participating organizations or to find out how to participate, visit NHGives.org or call 225-1947.
