Monadnock United Way in Keene NH has harnessed the caring power of community to improve lives throughout our Region, since 1952.
For over seven decades, we have brought together people from all sectors of the Monadnock Region to address the most challenging issues we face today. We believe that by working together, we can strengthen all the communities in our region.

The Caring Power of Community
Uniting for Children, Education, and Financial Stability
The problems challenging us are complex; they are issues that no single organization or individual can solve:
- We have the third-highest rate of child abuse and neglect in the state
- Our children score lower than the rest of the state in English and math
- One-quarter of our residents are low-income. For the rest of NH the rate is 1 in 5
Real change is possible when the nonprofit, public, and private sectors collaborate. Monadnock United Way, alongside our community, is addressing these three issues in innovative ways. Here’s how you can help:
