Welcome to Granite State Independent Living:
the 2007 Business New Hampshire Magazine
Nonprofit of the Year!
We are proud and grateful to be recognized by Business New Hampshire Magazine. The dedication and innovation of our Board, staff, volunteers and members on behalf of New Hampshire residents with disabilities--and all New Hampshire residents--earned this honor.
Granite State Independent Living (GSIL) is a statewide non-profit that recognizes the fact that all of us will need some type of support in the course of our lives. We offer the tools and resources so that individuals can participate as fully as they choose in their lives, families, and communities.
You can begin to access these resources by exploring this website, or contact us directly at our Information & Referral Department at (800) 826-3700 or (888) 396-3459 (TTY).
What is Shop for a Cause?
This one-day shopping event held on Saturday, September 20th is one of the many ways Macy’s gives back to their community though support of local non-profit organizations! On Shop for a Cause Day, guests have the opportunity to participate in a unique shopping experience including discounts of up to 20% of their entire purchase, entertainment, special events and the opportunity to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Every Macy’s Store nationwide will be holding the event.
How does GSIL raise fund?
GSIL staff and board members sell shopping passes to the event for $5 each. GSIL keeps ALL the proceeds from every shopping pass sold. It’s that simple! By purchasing a shopping pass, customers can support their favorite cause, while enjoying a day full of extraordinary discounts and events throughout the store. The money we raise will go into all departments that provide services to our consumers: Community Living, Employment & Long Term Support.

FREE Voter Education Information
For Community Organizations
Granite State Independent Living has partnered with the Secretary of State’s Office to provide organizations an opportunity to learn more about the new accessible voting system in New Hampshire. As mandated by the Help America Vote Act, every polling place became accessible in November 2007. There are several new options available to individuals with disabilities to increase access to voting and we would like you to know about them.
This summer and fall, representatives from Granite State Independent Living will be traveling the State increasing awareness and providing trainings on accessible voting just in time for this year’s Presidential elections.
Remember…
YOUR VOTE DOES MATTER!!
