Eversource Donates to GoodWork
Eversource has donated $1,200 to GoodWork of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to support its nonprofit incubator program.
GoodWork provides customized, strategic support to idea phase, early-stage, and start-up nonprofit organizations and has helped over one hundred nascent nonprofits bring their brilliant ideas to fruition over the last three years. GoodWork has provided over 500 hours of technical support, delivered thirty educational programs, provided professional development to early-stage nonprofit founders, provided customized, strategic support to hundreds of nonprofits, and created an inspirational meeting space for nonprofit organizations and businesses to convene and collaborate.
In turn, these organizations have impacted the Seacoast community by feeding families experiencing food scarcity, providing housing to developmentally disabled adults, soothing those struggling with mental health issues with movement and dance, supporting caregivers of children with parents struggling with addiction, and providing healthy food vouchers to veterans.
“I am proud to represent Eversource in presenting this Community Impact Grant to GoodWork” said Jeff Jackson, Eversource Community Relations Specialist for Eastern New Hampshire. “This partnership represents our continued support of philanthropic groups in the region, and our commitment to supporting growing organizations that share our tenets of community and social service, environmental justice, education, equality, and economic development.”
Many of the community’s early-stage and start-up nonprofits lack the resources and space to be successful. GoodWork supports, develops, and strengthens greater Seacoast nonprofits by providing customized incubator services at no cost. When GoodWork injects much-needed resources into burgeoning nonprofits, they become more soundly managed, more stable, and better positioned to provide their programs to the people who need them. As a result, donors and funders get a better return on their generous investments, nonprofits thrive, previously unaddressed problems are tackled, and communities are stronger.
