2006 Children's Fund Grant Recipients
Every time you partner with the Courtyard by Marriott, together we improve the lives of children in our community.
The opening of the Courtyard by Marriott is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Upper Valley nonprofits that support children. The owners of the Courtyard by Marriott—located in Centerra Park—are delighted to announce the establishment of the Children’s Fund of the Upper Valley, a component fund of the Upper Valley Region of New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
Through this hotel, we are committed to contributing at least $1 million to the Fund over the next ten years. The fund was established with a preference for supporting organizations such as the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) and projects that improve the lives of children in the local community through quality health care, child care, arts, and educational initiatives. The Children’s Fund is particularly supportive of entrepreneurial philanthropy—which helps the grantees expand their own organizational or fundraising capacity—and in programs or projects that expose children and teens to the joys of volunteerism and giving.
2006 grantees are:
The Child Care Center in Norwich
Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD)
Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF)
The Montshire Museum of Science
