LACONIA — The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction has received a $30,000, three-year grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The funds — $10,000 each year for three years — will help the organization upgrade its technology and increase its ability to raise more funds for kids in need.
“We are so thrilled,” said Children’s Auction Executive Director Jennifer Kelley, noting this year’s allotment will be used for an IT upgrade. “The improvements will allow us to invest in technology and equipment that will deliver a better auction experience as well as allow us to create an online grant process that is more streamlined for our nonprofits.
Kelley added, “We are very grateful to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and its donors for its generosity and for selecting the Auction as a grant recipient. It’s our mission to help further the work of area nonprofits that support children and families, and this gift will make it easier for us to raise funds while streamlining the grant application process for more than 70 nonprofits.”
