The Office of Family Assistance (Administration for Children and Families, HHS) awarded New Hampshire Children's Trust, Inc. a $749,999 Cooperative Agreement under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086) for a five-year project period ending September 29, 2030. The award funds a statewide "Empowering Fathers Across New Hampshire" initiative designed to strengthen father-child engagement, promote healthy co-parenting relationships, and support economic stability among low-income fathers.

The project delivers evidence-based services across New Hampshire's urban and rural communities through the 24:7 Dad curriculum, consisting of twelve two-hour sessions focused on parenting and relationship-building skills. Complementary programming includes workshops on financial literacy and workforce readiness. Case managers at partner organizations provide individualized employment support and referrals to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult Worker Program. Over the five-year performance period, the initiative is expected to serve at least 350 fathers, with NHCT staff traveling to local sites to facilitate direct service delivery.
