You Unlocked $10,000 - Thank You!
Earlier this Spring, The Gant Family Foundation generously came forward with a gift challenge of $10,000 for UVHFH. Thanks to our many generous donors who contributed $30,275, we exceeded our goals and secured a total of $40,275! We received a total of 107 new donations (our goal was 100) AND our local business community, churches, and organizations stepped up to the challenge and contributed a total $9,462 ($4,462 more than our $5,000 goal) to unlock the other $5,000!
Thanks to you, we secured over $40,000!
Thank you to the following for making this possible:
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust
Dartmouth Advancement
First Congregational Church of Lebanon
Dartmouth College Habitat Chapter
Nolato GW, Inc.
Granite Value Capital
Mascoma LLC;
Our Savior Lutheran Church
A big thank you to outgoing Tuck Board Fellow Sam Gant and The Gant Family Foundation for making this opportunity possible – and of course, to all our long-term, loyal donors and new donors (welcome & thank you for choosing to support us!) who contributed to make this exciting campaign such a success!
Additionally, NH Gives donors raised $1,125 for the Lebanon home build during this campaign period! This was our first time participating in the 24-hour online fundraiser and we look forward to growing this event in subsequent years. Thank you, NH Gives donors, many of whom are new to us as well!
“I choose to donate to UVHFH because the organization lives its values and creates the change it wishes to see in the world. Housing supply in the Upper Valley is extremely limited, and too many members of our community struggle to find safe, affordable places to live.
I empathize with the stress and vulnerability that people without access to housing feel, because members of my own family have faced similar challenges. UVHFH leverages deep community ties and support and enthusiastic volunteers to create homes for those with the greatest need.”
– Sam Gant, advising donor & non-voting Tuck Board Fellow
