Did you know that ABLE NH doesn't receive any state or federal funding? This allows us to be bold in our advocacy. It also means that the support we get from memberships and donations is extra impactful in sustaining our work.
One of the best ways to support ABLE NH as we prepare to advocate in 2025 is by becoming a member. As a grassroots, membership-driven organization, your commitment ensures we can continue building up new leaders and advocating for the civil and human rights of people with disabilities year-round.
When you become a member in December 2024, you’ll receive an ABLE NH holiday ornament in the mail as our way of saying thanks! We offer both paid and in-kind membership options to ensure that everyone can contribute in ways that work best for them. This means that you can donate money, time, skills, goods, services, or any combination of the above!

Are you ready to effect change?!! ABLE NH and MomsRising are hosting a rally in front of the New Hampshire State House on January 14th at 11 AM to protect Special Education funding in our state.
Please join us as we celebrate our local educators, parents, and students as they share their stories about what Special Education means to them, and the impact it has on their lives.
