​5 Portsmouth Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

PORTSMOUTH, NH — If you’re like many of your Portsmouth neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the Portsmouth area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. Gather: An org promoting food security.
2. The Chase House: An org focusing on at-risk youth and their families.
3. Crossroads House: An emergency shelter and local welfare org.
4. One Sky Community Services: An org that assists those with developmentally and acquired brain disorders.
5. Foundation for Seacoast Health: An organization supporting healthy, community-based programs.
