"Because the state lacks good cost and performance data and has no long-term strategic direction, budget cuts and other allocation decisions are necessarily inefficient. ...New Hampshire lacks robust expenditure data for budgeted items that might inform future planning and budgeting decisions. ...The lack of financial data contributes to budgeting challenges because the state cannot easily access timely expenditure data for the purposes of projecting future outlays."

The SEA's Benevolence Committee will coordinate SEA's efforts to assist members in need.  Before starting a separate fundraising drive at your worksite, please talk with Mike Barwell at 271-3411 x105 about efforts that are already underway.  

If you think you will need assistance from the Benevolence Fund, please call the SEA office at 271-3411.  Application forms are available here.

If you would like to make a regular donation to the SEA Benevolence Fund, the SEA has a new payroll deduction program.  Click here to download the deduction authorization form and return it to the SEA Office (207 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03301).  Regular donations add up quickly!

If you would like to make a one-time monetary donation -- in any amount, no matter how small -- please make your check payable to "SEA" and write "Benevolence Fund" in the memo field.  You can drop it off or mail it to the SEA at 207 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03301.

If you can donate a gas card or grocery card, the Benevolence Fund will make sure it gets to an SEA member who really needs it.
