Together, We Ensure Tomorrow

Hammer & NER aims to raise $10 million. We must continue to provide exceptional care and services needed by the people we support long into the future.

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 and Dedicated Staff

Funding cuts, higher demands, and workforce retention put 360+ people we serve at risk of not receiving the level of care they require.

Aging Well

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

Staffing and Resources

The Twin Cities community lacks the places and appropriately trained staff to care for people with developmental disabilities as they age.

We Are Better Together

With your financial support, we can continue to carry out our commitment to providing exceptional care that enables those we support to age well with an assurance of end-of-life care.

And, just as important, your support will provide the foundation for growing a skilled and dedicated workforce with the tools they need to help the people we serve continue to live life to the fullest as they age.
