We're excited to announce we have partnered with Arts In Reach (AIR) to fund free year-round arts programs for teens in southeastern NH and southern Maine.
Arts In Reach (AIR) is a unique program that blends interdisciplinary arts programming and mentoring by professional artists and staff to serve and empower New Hampshire girls and youth.
They are just one of our Community Grantee spotlights in "The Status of Girls in New Hampshire" report.
To view more data on NH girls, and more spotlights of the organizations serving them, visit: https://NHWomensFoundation.org/StatusOfGirls (link in bio)

We are so excited to release of The Status of Girls in New Hampshire, a data-driven report on the well-being of girls in the Granite State.
The report provides 32 indicators in demographics, education, economic security, health, substance use and safety. These indicators highlight a strong, smart, resilient, and diversifying population of girls with endless potential. The data also highlight disparate outcomes by gender, race, ethnicity, and geography — these disparities present opportunities for investment and involvement to support girls. So of course, we've also highlighted some Granite State organizations and programs that are doing this work: Girls Inc. of New Hampshire, Girls at Work, Inc., Circle Program, Arts In Reach (AIR), Girls on the Run - New Hampshire.
The 20-page report can be viewed on our website here: https://nhwomensfoundation.org/statusofgirls/
This research, like all of our work, is funded by our generous donors. Learn more about investing in our work: https://nhwomensfoundation.org/invest-in-women/donate-now/
