The competition is national, but awards are made for three years.
This competition usually runs September – December, with award decisions announced in April. In the Formula Grant Competition , organizations submit applications to Volunteer NH who review and make funding determinations based upon NH-specific priorities. This is a state-only competition; however, the amount of funding is limited and awards are only made on a one-year basis.
