The Cornish Community Initiative (CCI) was organized in 2019 to fund projects and programs that help maintain and enhance the quality of life in Cornish, New Hampshire. In 2023, the CCI received its 501(c)3 designation as a non-profit organization. Gifts are deductible to the full extent allowable under IRS regulations. Our Federal Tax ID # is 87-4593192. The Cornish Community Initiative strives to further programs in the arts, education, public affairs, community development, historic resources, the environment, recreation, and social services.

Cornish Library and Community Center

Our current major project is the renovation of the former Cornish General Store into the new Cornish Library and Community Center. We are pleased that the town voted to accept this project, and are excited that our Capital Campaign passed the $2M milestone since the Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Grant of $727,456.
