In addition, but in no way limiting the enumerated purpose of this fund, it is established for the prevention of cruelty to children. Funding shall be made available to a wide range of state and community-based family resource programs to prevent child abuse. The fund shall make regular payments of interest as defined in RSA 169-C:39-b, VI to the New Hampshire children's trust fund board for programs as defined in RSA 169-C:39-b, V, and said moneys shall not be available for any other purpose. The trust fund established in this paragraph shall be held and administered as a component fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, subject to its articles of agreement and bylaws, except that no change in the purpose of the fund as stated in the preceding sentence shall be made without an amendment to this chapter. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation shall provide an annual accounting of the trust fund to the board. The board shall have the responsibility of soliciting moneys from sources other than the general fund, including federal moneys.
