WHO WE ARE
Empowering the next generation of leadership
Our Mission
At The Forward Foundation, we are dedicated to the betterment of New Hampshire and its people. As a small, independent, and nonpartisan organization deeply rooted in this great state, our mission is clear: increase the participation of working-age people in democracy, enabling the next generation to thrive.
Building a Culture of Service
The Forward Foundation was founded with the belief that a strong culture of service is essential for a thriving society. We work tirelessly to foster this culture across New Hampshire, inspiring individuals to engage actively in their communities and contribute to the welfare of all residents. We empower Granite Staters to serve their communities in elected and appointed office.
Empowering Working-Age Individuals
Our primary focus is on working-age individuals, those under the age of 50, who represent the future of the Granite State. We recognize that they are underrepresented in leadership positions, limiting their influence in decision-making processes that shape their lives. By identifying, educating, and supporting emerging leaders, we aim to empower them to become active participants in our democracy.
