The NewHampshire Foundation for Teaching and Learning (NHFTL) was created in 1996 by NEA - New Hampshire to improve public education, teaching and student learning. Its programs are open to all public school teachers and students in NH.

The New Hampshire Foundation for Teaching and Learning established The Children’s Fund to help a child obtain items or services essential to success in school, including clothes, medical care, food, transportation or related services not provided by another agency. We help pre-school or public school students with short-term (not ongoing) needs. Education professionals spend their days with children, serving their needs and stimulating their minds. Often these professionals are the first to see situations where a student’s basic needs are not being met. Any professional who works with such a child may apply to the Fund on behalf of the child.

Our assistance should benefit the child directly. The level of assistance is based on need and availability of funds and all requests are handled in confidence and without delay. We feel that a child’s physical, social and emotional needs should not stand in the way of success in school.

To make a request for a grant, applicants just need to fill out a simple application. There are a couple of guidelines to follow: (1) the request must come from a professional (not a parent) who works with the child: and (2) the child must be eligible for free/reduced lunch and be eligible for Healthy Kids (Silver or Gold). Email Nancy Bricchi at nbricchi@nhnea.org or call her at (603) 224-7751 ext. 350 to request an application.

New Hampshire Foundation for Teaching and Learning is proud to have NEA-New Hampshire, Northeast Delta Dental and The Horace Mann Companies as corporate sponsors. The third annual Children’s Fund Golf Classic, "On Course Fore Kids" will be held on Thursday, July 23rd at Candia Woods Golf Links, Candia, NH. We would welcome your participation in this fund raiser, so important to New Hampshire students.

Supported by donations from sponsors and members like you, The New Hampshire Foundation for Teaching and Learning is a tax-exempt organization under the provisions of IRC 501(c)(3). Your contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Since most administrative costs of the Fund are paid by NEA-NH, nearly 100% of your donations reach our students in need.
