What United Way of Greater Nashua Inc does
Mission
To make measurable improvements in peoples lives by mobilizing the caring power of our communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025 United Way of Greater Nashua continued to expand its role in the community as a fiscal agent sponsor. Through this work, we are sponsoring organizations such as Upbeat NH, The Nashua Prevention Coalition, The One Greater Nashua Coalition, Grow Nashua, Michael J OMara fund, and Meals Matter. As their fiscal sponsor, United Way unburdens these groups of the responsibility to form their own 501c3 organizations, file their own 990, manage payroll, and attain insurance. This gives the groups a greatly enhanced ability to do more work in the community without the need for overhead and administrative expenses. The UWGN sees this type of fiscal agency work as a key initiative to get more missions-centric work done in the community on a cost effective basis by leveraging the skills and capacity of United Way.
$818,407 spent51% of program spendingUnited Way of Greater Nashua utilizes a unique community assessment and investment cycle in order to maximize the impact of investments in the community. This process includes conducting a thorough assessment of the greatest needs of the community in the areas of health, education, and economic mobility/financial stability. Through this process, critical needs are brought to light and then presented to the Non-Profit partner community for programmatic grant proposals. Thus, the investments made by UWGN in the community are guaranteed to responsibly steward donor dollars toward the greatest needs and impact areas. Beginning March 2020 through the end of this current fiscal year, UWGN provided substantial community support relative to the coronavirus pandemic. This included making emergency community grants, acquiring and distributing critical PPE, supporting community food supports, and helping students get access to internet and technology for

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.0M to $1.7M (+70%).
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: 2017 10% · 2018 9% · 2019 8% · 2020 26% · 2021 34% · 2022 33% · 2023 39% · 2024 7% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
