Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The forward foundation was founded to increase the participation of working-age people in their granite state communities through public policy research, education, and leadership growth. Working-age people are vastly underrepresented as leaders in local elected office, community organizations, and state government in new hampshire. The forward foundation seeks to empower this population in their communities by identifying, educating, and supporting them so they will grow as leaders and participate more fully in our democracy.

THROUGH COMMUNITY OUTREACH, PAID DIGITAL ADVERTISING, TRAINING WEBINARS, AND RELATIONAL ORGANIZING, THE FORWARD FOUNDATION IDENTIFIED 301 POTENTIAL POLL WORKERS ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0ISSUE-BASED EDUCATION FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS: NEW HAMPSHIRE'S ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE TASKED WITH MAKING DECISIONS ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY A LEGISLATOR CANNOT BE AN EXPERT IN EACH OF THESE ISSUES. THAT IS WHY THE FORWARD FOUNDATION ENGAGES IN A GOVERNANCE PROGRAM, TO MAKE SURE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN TOWNS, CITIES, AND IN THE STATE HOUSE ARE EDUCATED ON ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST TO WORKING-AGE INDIVIDUALS. IN 2022 WE BEGAN THIS PROGRAM BY HOSTING TRAININGS ABOUT HOUSING FOR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND WERE ABLE TO GET OVER 30 TRAINED IN HOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTERACTS WITH THE PUBLIC GOOD. SINCE 2022, WE HAVE BEN ABLE TO TRAIN OVER 70 MORE FOLKS ON MANY MORE ISSUES - HOWEVER, THE FIRST FOLKS WE TRAINED ON HOUSING ARE CONTINUALLY COMING BACK TO INTERACT WITH OUR ORGANIZATION, ATTEND MORE TRAININGS, AND HELP WITH OUR OTHER PROGRAMS.
