Together, We Ensure Tomorrow

Hammer & NER aims to raise $5 million by May 2026. We must continue to provide exceptional care and services long into the future. The people we serve can’t wait. Their future—and ours—depends on what we all do next.

Down Syndrome

According to the Down Syndrome Association, by their 50s, approximately half of those with Down syndrome will experience memory loss and other declines associated with having dementia.

Skilled & Dedicated Staff

Funding cuts, higher demands, and workforce retention put the 370+ people we serve are at risk of not receiving the level of care they require.

Aging Well & End-of-Life Care

People with disabilities are living longer and experiencing the physical and mental changes that come with aging. Many decline and need specialized services.

The Path Forward

Together, we will ensure a future in which the people we support can live throughout their lives in their Hammer & NER homes with full support from highly trained and well-equipped caregivers who are committed to providing them with the best care possible.

Throughout our history, Hammer & NER has moved and changed with the reality of the world around us. This is such a moment. With donors like you who believe in our mission, we will keep moving forward because our mission is too important and because the people we support deserve to live their best lives. The people we serve can’t wait. Their future—and ours—depends on what we all do next.
