Total donations since launch have exceeded $41m
Funding supports health, education, food security and social services across New England

The Brook, a New Hampshire charity casino property operated by Eureka Casino Resorts, has reported $12.6m in charitable contributions during 2025, bringing total donations generated by the venue to more than $41m since opening.

Located just across the Massachusetts–New Hampshire border, The Brook operates within a regulatory model that requires casinos to allocate a portion of gaming revenue directly to nonprofit organizations.  

Funds are distributed through rotating five- to ten-day cycles, allowing multiple charities to benefit throughout the year.

According to the casino, 2025 funding supported a broad range of services, including hunger relief, mental health programs, early childhood education initiatives and medical transportation.  

Beneficiaries included Angel Flight NE, which provides free air transport for critically ill patients, and Make-A-Wish New Hampshire, which supports children facing serious illnesses. 

Among the recipients, Kingston Children’s Center used its funding for facility improvements and staff development. 

Program Director Jemima Chapman said the more than $80,000 received helped cover operational upgrades without increasing costs for families served by the center.

NH Hunger Solutions also received more than $66,000 during the year, with funding directed toward food security advocacy, community partnerships and expanding access to nutrition assistance programs.

The Brook CEO Andre Carrier said the charity model remains central to the property’s operations, noting that the casino is structured to generate consistent support for local organizations rather than one-off donations.

Beyond its charitable activity, The Brook operates a 75-acre resort property featuring more than 600 gaming machines, live table games, a poker room and a large retail sportsbook. 

The venue also includes multiple dining and entertainment offerings, positioning the property as a regional hospitality destination alongside its gaming operations.

The charity casino model used in New Hampshire differs from traditional commercial casino structures, with regulators and policymakers often citing it as a mechanism for directing gambling revenue back into local communities. 

Operators within the state have emphasized transparency around allocations as charitable giving remains a core licensing requirement.

Other US casino operators have continued to expand community-focused initiatives tied to gaming activity. In January, Sky River Casino in California distributed $25,000 to local nonprofits through its Wreaths of Hope program, bringing total donations from the initiative to $80,000 over four years.
