January 2019 - In December PLC was awarded a three-year, $30,000 operating grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation (NHCF).  Payable in three annual $10,000 installments, the grant will help cover core expenses like staff salaries, office rent, utilities, insurance, etc..  PLC had received operating support from NHCF in the past, but only on a single-year basis.  In 2018 the Foundation’s Community Grants program announced a shift to multi-year operating grants, and PLC applied to the revamped program’s inaugural grant round.  NHCF’s Grants and Initiatives Manger Gale Dean says “the review committee commented on how much PLC accomplishes with a modest staff size and many volunteers.  Resources were tight this year since we were committing funds for a multi-year period, but the committee was pleased to recommend this grant support for PLC.”  We are deeply grateful to the NH Charitable Foundation for this vote of confidence in our work.
