Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $6,800 spent. Nourish New England (NNE) hosted community engagement events, including the New Hampshire World Christmas Market, which combined public outreach with food collection efforts. The event included ticketed admission, food and craft vendors, and community engagement activities for families, including a food donation drive. All net proceeds support the organization's charitable programs and mission. The event raised awareness of food insecurity in the community and supported program funding while collecting food donations for distribution to those in need. The food drive from the Market resulted in NNE collecting over 12 60-gallon bins of donations which supported Feed the Kids, two food pantries in Merrimack, NH and a local young family that was enduring hardship and needed food for their kids. Additionally, during 2025, NNE was able to donate funds raised from the market to help fund a community holiday dinner for those in need. Market funds will also support additional food insecurity related donations in future years.
