Dartmouth's 2025 granite United Way Giving Campaign
When the Dartmouth community unites to support its neighbors, incredible things happen.
The Dartmouth community has been stepping up to support our neighbors in need since the early 1800's, and has been partnering with Granite United Way for over 50 years. Continue empowering our communities by volunteering and giving where you live -- whether you contribute time, funds, or items to individuals and families in need, it all makes a difference.
In 2024, the Dartmouth community raised over $222,000 and volunteered many hours of time -- thank you to those who gave back!
Make your donation today
It's simple to give via payroll deduction, or a one-time donation.
- The payroll deduction deadline is Dec. 11 (you must re-select payroll deduction each year).
- You may designate your gift to any nonprofit agency, program, or focus area you care about — including those in your own community, wherever you live.
- New for 2025! Dartmouth will now cover all administrative and support service costs so 100% of your gift will directly support vital community programs and services.
Your generosity can offer invaluable support to nonprofits to help provide pathways to financial, housing, and childcare stability, and support mental health and substance misuse for those who are struggling.

Nearly 30 years ago, Dartmouth College employees and students volunteered their time to help COVER get its start. Dartmouth’s Campaign has continued to be a deeply-appreciated source of support as we address urgent home repair needs across the Upper Valley. Financial gifts, combined with the power of hundreds of local volunteers, become roofs, ramps, and more. Dartmouth’s Campaign helps COVER build community while improving safety, independence and warmth.

At LISTEN Community Services, we are seeing a staggering and sustained increase in need among our Upper Valley neighbors. The rising cost of essentials like food, housing, and heating—combined with less assistance from other programs—means that more residents are struggling financially and are unable to pay their bills.
Our longtime, dedicated partners like Granite United Way make it possible for LISTEN to be there for our community. This year, thanks to funding from Granite United Way that is restricted to heating assistance, we expect to help more than 1,500 people with small heating grants to prevent disconnection and fill fuel tanks. In a thank you note, one of our clients summed up the impact of this program, “My furnace quit working and I had a large bill from the fuel company that I couldn’t pay. It’s hard to put into words how much I appreciate this help. You have restored my faith in humanity and community.”
We are grateful to all Granite United Way donors and volunteers! Thank you.
