The Nash Casino Delivers $2.2 Million to Local Nonprofits

Nearly $26 Million Raised Throughout The Nash’s First 15 Months of Operation

Nashua, NH - The Nash Casino, New Hampshire’s largest charitable gaming venue, presented nearly $2.2 million in combined contributions to 12 New Hampshire nonprofit organizations on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. This extraordinary amount was accumulated from the combined revenues generated by games of chance, historical horse racing machines and video lottery terminals during the month of May and reflects the largest total amount raised by a charitable gaming venue in a single month.

“The Nash has consistently broken charitable gaming contribution records this spring, and we hope to continue the streak through the summer,” said The Nash General Manager Eric Althaus. “Each of the nonprofits we partner with are making a difference in their communities, and we are beyond proud to play a part in their mission of care and compassion.”

The past three months of gaming at The Nash have seen the largest contributions to nonprofits the casino has generated since opening, raising a combined $6.8 million in contributions. Throughout 15 months of operation, The Nash has generated a total of $25.8 million for New Hampshire nonprofits.

In December, The Nash began offering five-day weeks to partnering nonprofits, down from seven days, in order to significantly increase the number of nonprofits served.

When Manchester Acupuncture Studio Executive Director Andy Wegman first learned the amount of money his nonprofit was receiving, he said it took him two days to process the shocking figure.

“This check from The Nash gives us a sense of security in uncertain times,” Wegman said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to solidify our operations and continue to be of service to thousands of patients from across Merrimack Valley for years to come.”

Tanya Hart Newkirk, the executive director of the Greengard Center for Autism, said she was similarly caught off guard by the sizeable check her organization received.

“This check is a life-changing gift for the community we serve,” Hart Newkirk said. “It opens up possibilities we could have only imagined before.”

According to state law, 35% of games of chance revenues and 8.75% of HHR machine revenues are set aside for two nonprofits assigned to each week of gaming. The combined revenues are split evenly between the two nonprofits. In addition, 10% of games of chance and 16.5% of HHR revenues are contributed to the state Education Trust Fund. New VLT revenue is taxed at 31%. Of that amount, 35% will be contributed to local charities. The remainder is contributed to the state’s General Fund, Education Trust Fund and other state programs. In the month of May, The Nash sent $2,467,846.40 to the state fund.
