ArchivesCharity in NH: Generosity Doesn't Follow WealthBy Jon Greenberg on Tuesday, May 13, 2003.A new study takes a closer look at what makes some people generous and some people not-so-generous. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation analyzed giving and found that where people live seems to make a big difference. The study’s director, Deborah Schachter, spoke with NHPR’s Jon Greenberg. Among other details, the study suggested that if NH residents gave at the same rate as the national average, an extra $170 million would go into non-profit work. Click to see the full report Schachter says charity varies a lot from town to town and county to county. She says while having more money in the community helps, it doesn’t explain the whole story. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).

One rainy day earlier this month, NHPR’s Raquel Maria Dillon joined a group of volunteers stocking salmon on the Smith River in Grafton.
