New Hampshire Women's Foundation

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery and is a celebration of freedom and liberation. Equity and Justice are core values of the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation and we believe gender equity is deeply connected to racial equity. Women and girls of color are thought leaders and problem-solvers, identifying challenges and building solutions informed by lived experience. Despite their impact, these leaders, the organizations they run, and the communities they serve remain under-resourced.

We invite you to support organizations across New Hampshire that are led by and serving women and girls of color, including our 2024 and 2025 Women and Girls of Color Fund (WGCF) grantees:

BWINH Collective - BWINH Inc. Positive Street Art Sista Creatives Rising Racial Unity Team Palabras Consulting
O So Beautiful The Women’s Reentry Initiative

Here are ways you can get involved:
🔹 Follow Black Lives Matter New Hampshire to stay connected and learn about upcoming events
🔹Explore the work of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire and participate in upcoming events celebrating Juneteenth: https://bit.ly/4w0oMCH.
🔹 Join us in supporting organizations in New Hampshire that are led by and serving women and girls of color including our 2024 and 2025 Women and Girls of Color Fund Grantees: https://bit.ly/3ScyoeY.

We are feeling incredibly inspired by the women who joined us for our full-day Women Run training in Manchester! 🎉

Fifteen women, many running for the first time, joined us to learn skills, hear advice from elected women, and to be in community with other women running for office.

Our nine fantastic panelists gave advice on Canvassing, Fundraising, Social Media, ‘Crafting Your Pitch’, ‘Authenticity and Balance’, ‘Staying True to your Priorities and Values’, and ‘Why Women Should Run… the World!’

Women Run is the only nonpartisan program in the Granite State encouraging and training women to run for office.

When women serve in office, regardless of party, they are more likely to support policies that support women and girls and are more likely to reach across the aisle to reach consensus.

Together, we can change the political landscape in New Hampshire.

This month, we are celebrating the 10-year work anniversary of our Director of Operations, Karen Tebbenhoff.

Karen joined the Women’s Foundation in May 2016 as the Communications and Events Manager and over the past ten years, she has become an essential member of the NHWF team. Karen brings thoughtfulness, dedication, and vision to everything she does. Her steady leadership and project management touches every part of our organization from managing the countless details that keep the Foundation running smoothly to orchestrating our signature events like the GALA and the Women Building Community Luncheon.

Please join us in congratulating Karen for 10 extraordinary years of service to the Women’s Foundation! Thank you Karen for your passion, dedication, and friendship. We are so lucky to have you part of the NHWF team! 💜

🏳️‍🌈 Happy from the New Hampshire Women's Foundation! 🏳️‍🌈

We are proud to stand with our LGBTQIA+ community and fight for gender justice every day.

We honor LGBTQIA+ Granite Staters — past and present — who have fought to secure rights and justice for all, and we will not stand by as these rights are slashed and progress reversed.

We will continue to raise awareness about the disparities LGBTQIA+ youth face in mental health, bullying, and sexual violence. We will continue to advocate for the rights of trans girls who are the target of political attacks, and face harmful policies and systemic barriers that affect their everyday lives. And we will continue to invest in programs and organizations who serve members of the LGBTQIA+ community across New Hampshire.

The Women's Foundation will never stop fighting for equality and opportunity for all Granite State women, girls and marginalized genders. We believe in a New Hampshire where everyone can live with dignity, respect, and equality.

✨Want to show your pride? Shop our Pride merch here: https://nhwomensfoundation.org/store/

Join one of the many Pride events happening throughout the Granite State in June, and/or support an organization serving the LGBTQIA+ community. 💖
