How the Commission is Funded
The Commission is funded through a variety of state, federal, local and private sources.
Municipal Dues
Each member municipalities provides funding to the regional planning commission consistent with RSA 36:49.
Municipal dues are essential to the Commission not only to demonstrate support of the services that the Commission can provide but to allow the Commission to draw other sources to the region. Generally, approximately 50% of municipal dues are used in this manner. Additional resources to provide free assistance to our region's communities are very limited. The Commission receives very little funding from the state. It is anticipated that 1% of the Commission's budget will be from state sources in 2020, and those resources additionally require specified work products.
Federal Programs
The majority of funding comes from federal programs that are contracted through NH state agencies (federal pass-through) such as the NH Department of Transportation. The Commission continuously looks for new resources that best serve the needs of the municipalities within the region. Private and non-profit foundation funding has been successfully attained from partners such as the NH Endowment of Health and from organizations that are finding the expertise of the Commission beneficial to the efficiency of their own organization such as the Eastman Community Association.
Other Sources
The Commission works to find funds through many other sources that are often project specific based on the skillset of the staff and community needs.

The Commission continues to increase its contracts with municipalities around the region demonstrating both a need for these services and confidence in the professional work that the Commission provides.
