Support CAW

The NH Coastal Adaptation Workgroup (CAW) continues to build collective momentum toward a more resilient and connected coastal region. CAW has gained 25 new members in the past two years and continues to grow. In 2024, nearly 100 partners and artists gathered for a powerful Climate Summit, exchanging ideas and inspiration to reflect on how we build resilience and accelerate action. We deepened our understanding of place and history through a meaningful walking tour with the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire. The Picturing Rising Tides photo campaign continues to capture community stories of change, while new and longstanding partnerships help us move priority projects forward through the Great Bay 2030 initiative. This work and rich collaboration underscore what we can achieve together. This year, we remain focused on advancing our work, including revisiting CAW’s Five-Year Intentions, preparing for the 2026 NH Coastal Climate Summit in May, holding the Picturing Rising Tides photo campaign again this fall, and more.

CAW events as well as website hosting and maintenance incur costs. CAW uses a combination of grant funds and sponsorships from organizations like yours to defray these costs.  We are truly grateful to those who have sponsored CAW events and programs. Sponsorships enable CAW to keep event registration costs down, attract a broad range of participants, and host inclusive, welcoming events.

On behalf of the CAW Outreach Subcommittee, we invite you to consider becoming a CAW sponsor. Sponsors are recognized for their contribution at the biennial NH Coastal Climate Summit and in other materials which reach hundreds in NH and beyond. CAW’s audiences typically include municipal decision-makers, community leaders and volunteers, university and business professionals, students and youth, and interested residents.
