Stabile Family Foundation Grants

The Stabile Family Foundation Grants support non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations and public agencies in New Hampshire, focusing on educational and recreational services. Minor requests up to $500 are reviewed periodically, while major requests over $500 are approved thrice a year. Priority is given to Nashua area organizations, and the foundation does not fund basic operating costs or individual scholarships. This commitment enhances community resources and fosters growth in local initiatives.
