Impact
From a family member of a Crotched Mountain Community Care client in
Lee NH:
​
“Financial assistance meant the world to our family. With all the other medical costs we have associated with cerebral palsy, this unexpected situation was more than we could cover. The pain was keeping her up at night and affecting her ability to chew. She wasn’t eating well. She hated to ask for help, but she really needed relief. The staff at Crotched Mountain Community Care was wonderful and told us that they received a grant that might be able to help us. We appreciate the generosity of the Roger R. and Theresa S. Thompson Endowment Fund and are so grateful for the assistance.”
Reflections from the 2016 13th Annual Walk for Sight for the NH Association for the Blind:
​
About 275 walkers ventured through historic downtown Concord, spreading the message that anyone can live and thrive with vision loss. Though multiple new elements were added this year, one key aspect remained the same: our largest fundraising event would not be possible without our generous sponsors, numerous volunteers, and enthusiastic walkers, as well as the many members of our board and staff. Together, we raised almost $85,000 for vital vision rehabilitation programs and services. Thanks to everyone who made this event a resounding success! for pictures and more about this year's Walk, click here.
Strawbery Banke Museum President & CEO Linnea Grim on the 2025 grant for new exhibit on the American Revolution:
​
"This exhibition will amplify the voices of those who pursued liberty, and showcase the
documents and objects that defined the era. The grant from The Roger R. and Theresa
S. Thompson Endowment Fund will help Museum visitors gain a more complete
understanding of Portsmouth’s pivotal role in the American Revolution.”
Adria King, Chief Development Officer for Pine Tree Society:
“This year we are thrilled to have celebrated our 80th season of Pine Tree Camp, eliminating barriers and providing Maine people with disabilities the access to immerse themselves in the outdoors and connect with their peers. The impact of The Thompson Fund support extends beyond our campers, providing the opportunity for families to participate alongside their loved ones, as well as benefiting from much-needed respite.”

"It is hard to think of a better way to impact a life and a community than the gift of an education. Your support of financial aid truly is life changing and has already made Berwick a stronger and more diverse school. The Roger R. Thompson Endowment Fund Scholars are fully engaged in all aspects of school life and their enthusiasm for Berwick and learning is infectious."
Jane Bard, President of the Children's Museum of New Hampshire.
​
"The Museum is truly grateful for the generous support from the Roger R. and Theresa S. Thompson Endowment Fund. During this challenging time for non-profit fundraising, their investment will help us make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children each year
​
Denise Doleac, co-founder of the Children's Museum of New Hampshire:
​
"When Mrs. Thompson was first introduced to the Children’s Museum 15 years ago, she expressed a deep concern for the welfare of families and, specifically, children who were in need. The Funded Membership Program honors her legacy, and we are extremely grateful to the Thompson Endowment Fund as one of our leading supporters through the years.”
NH Governor Maggie Hassan on the opening of the Children's Museum of NH STEAM Innovation Lab:
​
“Education is the ladder to opportunity. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to the Children’s Museum [for] making this space possible. [It] is going to make us stronger, and it is going to really make sure that we are preparing our children to be the leaders of tomorrow.”
