Founded in 1952, the Putnam Foundation is a private family foundation proudly supporting organizations in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire and beyond. Originally established to fund local, Monadnock Region, and New Hampshire organizations with a focus on the Arts, Culture, and Historic Preservation, the Foundation has evolved into two committees--the Local & State Committee and the Environmental Focus Committee. 

The Local & State Committee continues to focus on funding arts, culture, and historic preservation primarily in the Monadnock Region, while the Environmental Focus Committee focuses on supporting grassroots climate activism.
