There are many ways you can help sustain the humanities in New Hampshire

Annual Fund

Hundreds of generous Granite Staters support NH Humanities by supporting the annual fund because they believe our programs make a difference in their lives – from Humanities to Go programs at their local libraries and historical societies to ensuring New Americans have access to the Connections adult literacy program which enhances their employment skills and lives! Show your support witha gift tothe annual fund and ensure our programs are available to Granite Staters everywhere. 

Consider a recurring gift to provide an eco-friendly and dependable source of support for New Hampshire Humanities  -  no need to remember to renew your support, and you gain a sense of satisfaction knowing that your steady support keeps our lights on and programs coming.  Set up a secure, monthly giving gift here.

Honor someone special, a loved one's memory, or a special occasion by making a gift in tribute to a family member, friend, or colleague who believes in the power of investigating the human experience. We will send a letter to the honoree or family to let them know of your generosity. 

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Donate from your IRA directly to NHH after the age of 70 ½ . This will satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and avoid taxable income. Because this must be received before December 31, you will want to initiate this with your investment firm at the beginning of December to avoid the deadline. 

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF), similar to a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to New Hampshire Humanities. You can also create a lasting legacy by naming NHH the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. 

Supporting New Hampshire Humanities through your DAF just got easier– simply visit our giving page, initiate your donation, and when you reach the payment section, select DAFpay. With thousands of DAF sponsors integrated into the database, you will likely find yours with ease. If not, a quick entry will begin the process, and DAFpay will handle the rest.

For those making a gift through their Donor Advised Fund, our EIN is 02-0317350.

"Our history is part of the civic glue that holds our nation together, and we’ve taken it for granted. We should be exploring our traditions, our diverse heritage, and all the fun, amazing things people do and have done—these are the things that both set us apart and bind us together."
