On September 22, in a ceremony at the Nonprofit Leadership Summit, Governor John Lynch presented NAMI NH with The Corporate Fund’s Walter J. Dunfey Nonprofit Management Award. The award was created to recognize outstanding management skill and talent within the nonprofit sector, and named for Walter J. Dunfey, noted businessman, philanthropist and co-founder of The Corporate Fund.
Each year, up to two nonprofits are recognized based upon written submissions and interviews. NAMI NH’s organizational management was evaluated based on:
• Program Delivery and Impact
• Mission, Vision and Strategy
• Governance and Leadership
• Strategic Relationships
• Resource Development
• Internal Operations and Management
We are proud to be a recipient of this prestigious award. The hard work of board, volunteers and staff have made NAMI NH the organization that it is today. We also congratulate NH Legal Assistance, who also was a recipient of The Corporate Fund Award.
The Corporate Fund
The Corporate Fund recognizes that management in the nonprofit sector is among the most demanding and most important work in our society. In 1983, as Chairman of the New Hampshire Charitable Fund, Walter J. Dunfey took the lead in establishing The Corporate Fund, approaching other New Hampshire business leaders with a novel concept: that companies pool their financial resources and management expertise to strengthen the state’s nonprofit organizations. The Corporate Fund member organizations are: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Bank of America, Citizens Bank, Comcast, FairPoint Communications, Fidelity Investments, Hitchiner Manufacturing Company, Inc., Lincoln Financial Group, Markem Corporation, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Northeast Delta Dental, Public Service of NH, TD Banknorth.
