Funded by The Harvard Pilgrim Foundation, initiative to Support NH nonprofit organizations with grants up to $10,000 each
(Manchester, NH) – Harvard Pilgrim Health Care today announced the launch of its
$40,000 Opioid Misuse Prevention, Recovery and Treatment Grants program. The grants
program, funded by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation, will offer individual grants up
to $10,000 to local nonprofit organizations in New Hampshire that serve residents dealing with
opioid addiction with evidence-based prevention, treatment or recovery services.
“Given the severity of the drug crisis in New Hampshire, we felt it was important to step up and
support those organizations helping to prevent and treat individuals and their families affected
by opioid misuse in the state,” said William Brewster, M.D., Vice President of New Hampshire
Regional Market at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. “Addiction is a disease, and with New
Hampshire leading the nation in overdose deaths per capita for fentanyl, we hope this grants
program will help organizations providing health, hope and support for freedom from
addiction.”
