Non-Profit Organizations in Concord, NH

Founded in 2014 through the merger of five pioneering women's organizations, the New Hampshire Women's Foundation represents a unified movement for gender justice in Concord and throughout the Granite State. The organization was born from a shared vision that social, political, and economic equality for women and girls requires coordinated, strategic action across multiple domains. Built on core values of empowerment, equity and justice, bold and courageous leadership, and collaboration, the Foundation works collectively with other organizations, leaders, advocates, and individuals of all genders to create lasting change. The merger brought together the legacies of the Women's Fund of New Hampshire—established in 1999 to transform philanthropy into strategic investment—alongside the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Women, the New Hampshire Women's Policy Institute, the New Hampshire Women's Lobby, and the New Hampshire Women's Initiative. This consolidation created an unprecedented body of knowledge and a new iteration of the gender justice movement. Today, the Foundation invests in opportunity and equality for women and girls by building voice, money, and power throughout New Hampshire communities. The organization believes that when women and girls prosper, entire communities thrive. By connecting expertise with community through educational events, hosting nonprofit roundtables for leaders serving Granite State women and girls, and maintaining an active calendar of engagement opportunities, the Foundation fosters meaningful dialogue and collaborative solutions. The New Hampshire Women's Foundation stands as the leading organization dedicated to advancing gender equality and opportunity for all women, girls, and marginalized genders across the state.

Since 1986, PFLAG New Hampshire has been a beacon of love and acceptance for LGBTQ people and their families in Concord and throughout the state. Founded when parents of gay children gathered in Manchester to create a supportive community in the state capital, the organization has grown into a statewide network dedicated to building equitable and inclusive communities. PFLAG NH's story reflects the power of ordinary people united by love—from the early founders who recognized the need for support to the coastal members who expanded services to underserved communities. The organization envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. At its heart, PFLAG NH is built on a foundation of loving families united with LGBTQ allies who support one another. Members work together to educate themselves and their communities, speaking up as advocates until all hearts and minds respect and affirm LGBTQ people. Over the years, the organization has adapted to meet evolving community needs, shifting focus to support transgender, non-binary, gender fluid, and intersex individuals. Today, PFLAG New Hampshire remains committed to fighting discrimination in all forms and creating space for marginalized voices. The organization's board and advisory team of dedicated volunteers ensure that individual support groups can focus on their core mission: providing compassionate support, meaningful education, and bold advocacy. PFLAG NH demonstrates that when families and allies lead with love and conviction, transformative change becomes possible.
