This Giving Tuesday, December 2, Plan New Hampshire invites our community to invest in the next generation of leaders by supporting the Plan NH Scholarship Fund. Through the Plan NH Scholarship & Fellowship Program, Plan NH supports students pursuing careers in architecture, engineering, planning, landscape architecture, environmental studies, and more—students who are already imagining and designing the vibrant, sustainable, and people-centered communities of tomorrow.
This year, the Plan NH Scholarship Fund supported promising scholars such as Ryan Hilliard of Somersworth, a civil engineering student at the University of New Hampshire, and Beckley Wooster of Winchester, a conservation biology student at St. Lawrence University. The generosity of donors on Giving Tuesday will directly fuels the education, growth, and future impact of students like Ryan and Beckley.
In fact, donations made this year go even further. Plan NH is matching every dollar donated, up to $5,000, to amplify support for these emerging professionals. That means $25 becomes $50, $100 becomes $200, and a contribution of any size doubles its ability to open doors, reduce financial burdens, and empower dedicated students across New Hampshire as they prepare for careers that strengthen our communities.
Behind every thriving downtown, every green space that brings people together, and every thoughtfully designed building is someone who once needed exactly this kind of encouragement and support. By giving to the Plan NH Scholarship Fund, you are investing not only in individual students but also in the future health, resilience, and livability of New Hampshire’s communities. Great communities begin with great people—and your gift helps ensure those people have the resources they need to succeed.
This Giving Tuesday, help Plan NH reach the full $5,000 match and maximize the impact we can make. Your support strengthens our mission and elevates young people who will carry forward the work of creating vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive places across New Hampshire. Join us in making every dollar count—and count twice. Support Plan NH’s Giving Tuesday campaign here: bit.ly/3KiWSzr.
