Supporting Granite State Independent Living is a way to tell a neighbor living with a disability that while they’re one of 13% of New Hampshire residents living with a disability, they can also be one of the 100% who deserve a chance to thrive. GSIL has helped elderly neighbors live independently at home, changed lives through home access modifications, and charted a course for success for students struggling in school. But more can be done: while GSIL helps over 2,500 Granite Staters a year, many more would benefit from our services.
After all, we hear almost every day from someone who says “I wouldn’t be where I am without GSIL.” You can play a part in that.

- To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
- To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
- To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
- To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
- To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
- To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
