Programs
Abenaki Seeds Project: The Society participated again in the Abenaki Seeds Project, through which local growers can help ensure food security for the Abenaki people by growing heritage seeds. Food growers donated their produce to the Abenaki Food Shelf and the Hopkinton Food Pantry. The Society updated a growing guide for the heritage seeds with recipes for people to try at home.
$22,936 spent100% of program spending2024 Exhibit: Last years exhibit, Thank You Hopkinton! Celebrating a Tradition of Care and Kindness was curated by Trustee Sienna Larson. It was a fabulous exhibit, filled with more than 125 personal stories submitted to the Society. Programs included a Humanities Council program with Dr. Maria Sanders on her book, The Quest for Happiness; a nature walk around Kimball Lake with naturalist Linden Rayton; Community Storytelling with old and new townsfolk; a Night at the Museum with a story read by Trish Walton and a show and tell of objects in the Societys collection; and a book discussion group moderated by Digit Taylor of The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Frederick Douglass Speech Reading: For the past several years, the Society has participated in the Black Heritage Trail of NH's statewide reading of Frederick Douglass's speech, What to the slave is your Fourth of July?. All attendees read a portion of the speech, if they would like. It is a meaningful time to read and hear the speech and reflect upon its meaning.
Traveling Exhibit: Originally an exhibit at the Society in 2020, the Society was asked to transform it into a traveling exhibit to go to schools, historical societies, and libraries. With a grant from the N.H. State Council on the Arts and a wonderful intern, we created Abenaki Trails, which was exhibited in 2023 at the Monadnock Center for History & Culture in Peterborough, N.H. It also traveled to Maple Street School and Hopkinton Middle/High School, and included programs with Abenaki artists. The Society has received an additional grant from the Arts Council and brought the exhibit and Abenaki artists to Maple Street School and Beech Hill School in 2025 as well as the Loudon, NH Historical Society.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.4M to $1.2M (−14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 17% · 2021 19% · 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

87% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund New Hampshire Antiquarian Society DBA Hopkinton Historical Society.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
60% of New Hampshire Antiquarian Society DBA Hopkinton Historical Society's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
