Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. When it comes to Charitable giving -- Americans are the most generous in the world. In 2004, Philanthropic giving rose 5-percent to nearly 250 billion dollars -- a new record. Where does NH stand in the giving Department? In this "Outlook on Money" report we look at the culture of giving in the state -- and hear from a local family who believes in the saying: "You make a living by what you do -- you make a life by what you Give. |

When it comes to Giving 80-percent of NH households are donors. Not only are we giving in Large Numbers - we're also generous with our time. According to the NH Chartiable Foundation -- More than half of us volunteer in NH, versus one- third nationally. |

For the Past 4 years, NH has ranked at the bottom of the "Generosity Index" -- a listing of "charitable giving" among the states -- based on itemized donations on income tax returns. Clearly, those numbers don't tell the WHOLE story when it comes to NH's generosity. According to a study by the Center on Philanthropy. The vast majority of NH households are givers - 4 out of 5 donate. The Average household donation in 2004 was 1-thousand-461 dollars. 72-cents of every donated dollar in NH went to local or in-state charities and, 97-percent of NH donors gave to secular causes; 55-percent to religious causes. Here to shed more light on the Giving Picture: Deborah Schachter of the NH Charitable Foundation, Liz Hager, the Executive Director of United Way of Merrimack County, Mary Ellen Sheffield of the NH Center for Non-Profits, and Marianne Jones, the Executive Director of the Women's Fund of NH. Welcome. Q DEB SCHACHTER: Every year we hear the numbers on the Generosity Index leaving the impression that Granite Staters are "STINGY" -- NOT SO, it would appear???? **how do you counter that impression?? Q LIZ HAGER: Fundraising in 2002 was FLAT for United Way -- Has that changed or is still a challenge to meet your goal??? Are the Kaubris's typical givers??? Q MARY ELLEN: Money tight for non-profits in general. When it comes to GIVING - are you seeing trends? Are we giving MORE or LESS these days? Q MARIANNE JONES: How do women differ from men in their giving -- iS their a difference? **challenges in messaging? |

BETH: Let's take a look at WHERE our CHARITABLE DOLLARS Are going in NH? IN 2004, Nearly 680 million dollars was donated. The largest percentage went to religious organizations -- at 232-million dollars. Combination Campaigns raised 123-million dollars. Donations for Basic Needs reached 92-million dollars. Education Dollars topped 59 Million. While Arts & Culture garnered 26-million. The list of course goes on -- that's just a snapshot. Q DEBORAH SCHACHTER: 680 Million.nothing to sneeze at. But, NH is a relatively WEALTHY state.why AREN'T we GIVING more???? ** Secular Giving HIGHER in NE and NH in general. Q MARIANNE/MARYELLEN: Safe to say people of ALL INCOME levels respond quickly and generously if they BELIEVE there's a TRUE NEED. ** Tsumani Relief: 13 million raised here in NH. Another 6 million for International causes. Q LIZ HAGER: How do you intice people to INCREASE their personal charitable donations? What's worked for United Way? ** Donors respond from their heart and a desire to help. Q How important is the ASK when it comes to philanthropic GIVING? Q MARIANNE/MARY ELLEN: In NH people are more likely to be VOLUNTEERS -- 1/2nd verus 1/3rd nationally. Any theories as to WHY? Q EVERYONE: Let's talk about NH BUSINESSES -- are they doing their part in terms of giving? Q DEBORAH: I know when it comes to giving.its not One-Size-Fit-All, but is there a profile of a typical giver? I understand Baby boomers are good givers.TRUE? Q EVERYONE: Should schools be doing more in the way of encouraging COMMUNITY Service or CHARITABLE Giving. Q MARIANNE/MARYELLEN: There was a huge outpouring after the 9/11 disaster, and the Tsunami. Record giving. Within a MONTH.giving had dried-up. Is that TYPICAL. No longer on the radar screen. Is that the challenge? Q Familiar with the Expression.PAY IT FORWARD. It's actually become a national movement. Of course, the Movie popularized the whole notion of a young boy doing something good for 3 people. Instead of paying him back -- he asked them to "PAY IT FORWARD" -- by doing a favor for 3 more people.who then would help 3 others, and each act.is a link in a chain of human kindness. *** DID we actually see MORE giving as a result of that phenomenon.??? Q How do you go about GIVING -- what's the first thing you should do. ** Benefits of giving wisely. Q How do YOU get past skepticism that the money we give won't have the impact we desire? |

It all started with the social studies teacher's extra-credit assignment: come up with a plan to change the world for the better, and do it. Twelve-year-old Trevor McKinney began by doing something good for three people. But instead of paying him back, he asked them to "pay it forward" by doing a favor for three more people, who in turn would help three others, and so on, each act a link in a chain of human kindness. And no one — not his teacher, his mom, or anyone in his small California town — could ever have dreamed of how far Trevor's plan would go. How do we get past the skepticism that the money we give won't have the impact we desire? Well, confidence requires verified information. In biblical terms, we call this accountability and stewardship on the part of the donee organization. Confidence in the gift's impact is the key to experiencing the true joy of generosity. |

John Langstaff, along with his daughter Carol, worked to spread this seasonal celebration throughout the United States. The show explores the roots of the Christmas and winter solstice celebrations from a different era or country each year. Langstaff helped begin Revels North in Hanover in 1974 and their community-based productions continue to this day. We visited with Revels North in years past; Richard Ager brings us this appreciation of Langstaff’s legacy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ NH Outlook is dedicated to statewide coverage of the people, places, politics, communities and culture that make the Granite State unique.
