New Hampshire Military Assistance Foundation

365 Days A Year

We support the men and women who
guard our state and our nation.

Assist &
Strengthen

The mission of the New Hampshire Military Assistance Foundation, in partnership with our community, will assist and strengthen the members, families and units of the NH National Guard.

We understand the unique challenges faced by our NH National Guard members. Many are your neighbors or co-workers who are called to support the state or the nation in time of crisis. Developing and maintaining unit camaraderie and esprit de corps is essential for successful completion of the mission. Since a predominate number of the NH National Guard is part time, it more challenging to develop this unit cohesiveness. Unlike active duty, the members and their families do not live on or near a military installation that would provide opportunities for building friendships and support with each other.

Our services are designed to boost morale, cohesiveness and the readiness of the NH National Guard and their families. MAF provides funding where government funding is unavailable.

How It All Started...

It all began with a bus….. In 2009 a unit from the NH Army National Guard was in training over the Christmas holidays preparing to deploy to the Middle East. Funding was not available to bring them home to enjoy the holidays with family prior to deploying. Community members and organizations came together to raise the necessary funds to charter a bus to bring them home and return them back to their training site prior to their deployment. Events like this help to boost morale of the unit, the military member and their family. This community heart felt response highlighted the need for an organization to officially raise and monitor funds when government funds are unavailable; as a result the NH Military Assistance Foundation (MAF) was created.
