Eversource Energy Foundation Grants for New Hampshire
The Eversource Energy Foundation is accepting 2026 grant requests from eligible nonprofit organizations in its New Hampshire service territory. Funding supports broad, sustainable community impact, including community wellness and basic needs and education, with STEM initiatives preferred.
Funding
Typical Foundation grants are $1,000-$10,000. Awards do not automatically renew, and organizations must reapply each year. Eversource states that requests are reviewed on a rolling basis and that the application closes mid-October for the current calendar year. The official source does not publish an exact 2026 closing date, time, or time zone, so Atlas is not inventing one.
Eligibility and Timing
Applicants must be U.S.-based organizations with IRS-designated 501(c)(3) status and must be located in Eversource service territory. Eversource limits organizations to one donation per calendar year. Requests tied to a program or event must be submitted at least 90 days in advance, and the Foundation states that review can take approximately eight to twelve weeks.
Relevant New Hampshire Uses and Cost Controls
For this lane, the strongest pathways are nonprofit projects addressing community wellness and basic human needs, including health and medical needs; school or youth education with STEM preferred; environmental stewardship; community engagement; and economic/workforce development. The Foundation expressly does not fund capital campaigns, personnel costs for specific positions, utility upgrades or energy-efficiency projects, utility-bill assistance, most walks and races, personal expenses such as events/conferences/travel, individual fundraising, debt reduction, private foundations or endowments, fraternal or political organizations, or advertising. It provides only limited funding for intermediary organizations, school PTOs and school-based fundraising events, United Ways, athletic/sports organizations, golf tournaments, and career fairs. The official page still does not specifically identify medical-device, telehealth, clinical-equipment, or healthcare-technology purchases as an eligible cost category, so any such cost requires applicant-specific confirmation before positioning.
Application
Applicants begin with Eversource’s eligibility quiz and, if eligible, are directed to the CyberGrants application portal. General application questions may be directed to Giving@eversource.com; New Hampshire community-relations questions may be directed to NHCommunityRelations@eversource.com.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 77/100. This is a credible, currently open New Hampshire-accessible corporate foundation program with clear community-wellness and education priorities, but the small award size and lack of an exact published 2026 closing date reduce execution certainty.
N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. N9+ fit is not being forced. The official program does not expressly fund telehealth hardware or remote clinical examination technology. A legitimate N9+ role would require a separate applicant-led project rationale and written confirmation that the specific technology cost is allowable.
Direct-vendor determination: Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare is not an eligible direct applicant because applicants must be qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Any vendor role would need to be driven by an eligible nonprofit’s independently defined project.
Next Action
Identify New Hampshire 501(c)(3) organizations within Eversource service territory whose current community-wellness or education projects align with the Foundation’s priorities; verify they have not already received an Eversource donation in 2026; and, for event/program requests, confirm the 90-day advance-submission rule can still be met before preparing any applicant outreach.
