United Way Of Greater Nashua Inc

The Nashua Prevention Coalition is supported by a grant from Samhsa called drug free communities. The purpose of this coalition is to prevent substance abuse with a focus on education and prevention, primarily at the youth level. United Way matches this grant funding through in-kind contributions, including space, apportioned wages, and volunteer hours. With the growing crisis in substance misuse disorders, we feel strongly about this investment in our community, even though the true value is not reflected in our fiscal statements.

United Way of Greater Nashua utilizes a unique community assessment and investment cycle in order to maximize the impact of investments in the community. This process includes conducting a thorough assessment of the greatest needs of the community in the areas of health, education, and economic mobility/financial stability. Through this process, critical needs are brought to light and then presented to the Non-Profit partner community for programmatic grant proposals. Thus, the investments made by UWGN in the community are guaranteed to responsibly steward donor dollars toward the greatest needs and impact areas. Beginning March 2020 through the end of this current fiscal year, UWGN provided substantial community support relative to the coronavirus pandemic. This included making emergency community grants, acquiring and distributing critical PPE, supporting community food supports, and helping students get access to internet and technology for
