Belknap House Receives Grant From NH Charitable Foundation

 

Belknap House recently received a $35,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for the installation of a fire sprinkler system. During the cold weather months of October 15 to May 15, the shelter will provide temporary living quarters for homeless Belknap County families with children.  Families will be helped to find housing and to increase self-reliance.  The shelter must have a code-approved sprinkler system in place before opening.

 

In accepting the grant, Belknap House Board President Colleen Garrity remarked, “This is such a generous donation from a group who understands the needs of children and the concerns of homeless families during cold weather months. I speak for the Belknap House Board of Directors in saying how grateful we are for the support of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. We cannot do this alone.  We need the community support of individuals, businesses, and civic organizations. The grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Lois G. Roy Dickerman Fund will be truly instrumental in moving us forward.”

 

Belknap House is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 to provide families in Belknap County with safe shelter during cold weather months.  It is at this time that homeless children are particularly at risk.  The shelter will link families with the resources and educational opportunities needed to become self-sufficient.  Belknap House plans to open in October 2016 through the generosity of residents and local businesses as well as charitable, community and religious organizations.  Further information may be obtained by contacting [email protected]  or visit www.facebook.com/belknaphouse/ The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation was created in 1962 by and for the people of New Hampshire, and is dedicated to strengthening communities across the Granite State. The Foundation manages a growing collection of 1,700 philanthropic funds created by generous families, individuals and businesses, and awards more than $30 million in grants and scholarships every year. The Foundation invests charitable assets for today and tomorrow; works with generous and visionary citizens to maximize the power of their giving; supports critical work happening in New Hampshire communities and leads and collaborates on high-impact initiatives.
