Together, these contributions supported 20 Manchester public schools, reaching approximately 12,000 students and 2,000 educators. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped Manchester school communities start the year strong.

From the Pages of Impact Magazine
Dive back into the March 2026 edition of Impact, the SNHU alumni and donor magazine. We're highlighting two stories that celebrate the power of resilience, belonging, and purpose: from an alumnus embracing life’s unexpected turns and creating his own path to a student finding a sense of home and paying forward the support that helped him thrive.
We love to hear about alumni doing great things. If you or someone you know has a story worth sharing, please send us a Class Note to be featured in next month's edition! You might even get some SNHU swag ...
