About This Month's Illuminating Impact Nominees: 

NHSPCA

The New Hampshire SPCA (NHSPCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption while promoting compassion and advancing the highest standards of animal welfare. As an open-admission, unlimited-stay shelter, the NHSPCA provides individualized care for nearly 2,500 animals each year, ensuring they receive the medical attention, shelter, and support they need until they find loving homes.

Beyond adoption, the organization offers positive reinforcement training programs, humane education for thousands of children and adults, cruelty investigations and advocacy across New Hampshire, and a wide range of volunteer and community initiatives that strengthen the bond between people and animals.

American Independence Center

Founded in 1991 as a shared enterprise between the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of New Hampshire, the State of New Hampshire, and the Exeter community, the American Independence Center develops programs, exhibits, tours, and events that advance a deeper understanding of the ongoing struggle for American freedom and self-governance.


Through its museum, historic buildings, educational programming, and public events, the Center helps visitors connect with the stories, artifacts, and ideals that shaped the founding of the United States. Its mission is to preserve history while inspiring future generations to better understand and participate in American democracy.
