LACONIA — Bank of New Hampshire’s matching campaign centered around Giving Tuesday and powered by Givio’s Charitable Banking platform, raised $68,000 for 149 nonprofits in record time.

The campaign, in recognition of Giving Tuesday, took place on Nov. 28 this year, and was so successful the original goal of a $20,000 match on donations made through BNH’s Online Banking was reached in less than 12 hours, prompting BNH to raise the match ceiling to $30,000. The new goal was quickly reached in less than 24 hours.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of BNH customers and the bank’s commitment to match up to $500 in donations per customer, $68,000 was raised through 215 donations during the campaign.
