Pioneering the first-of-its-kind campus to serve those who served.

Situated on a 15-acre site in Franklin, the Easterseals NH Military & Veterans Campus will be a center of excellence and the first-of-its-kind in New Hampshire. Designed and developed by PROCON, the campus will provide enhanced support for military community members and their families through access to a variety of services and recreation activities in one location.

Campus Overview

Thanks to the support of the state, Easterseals NH has leveraged $23M for the initial phase of this project, but in order to complete the campus, an additional $19M needs to be raised. It will take all of us working together to realize this important vision to the fullest and sustain the campus for future generations.

Phase I construction, including housing and the retreat center, is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.  Phase II, including the multi-purpose recreation center and maker’s space, will unfold dependent on raising the additional funds. Your generosity is critical to make this project a reality.

  • Affordable housing: 30 units of permanent affordable rental housing for veterans;
  • Hub of services with meeting and event space: Co-location of multiple military service organizations to ensure continuum of care for each visitor to the campus; and opportunities to hold events/trainings;
  • Retreat center: 20 short-term rental bedrooms, some with kitchenettes; and
  • Recreation components: Access to the rail trail and Merrimack River; a to-be-built multipurpose building for equine and dog therapy, rock climbing wall, ropes course, and more; a military themed playground; and outdoor performance stage.

The more we band together, the greater our impact.

Easterseals NH is engaging with the community to help support the development and sustainability of our military and veterans campus to ensure its use for many generations. We look forward to having conversations to share more about the goals of the campus, its stages of development, and hear how your interests may align with these opportunities. We’ve created donor naming opportunities starting at $10,000 up to $2.5M. We accept multi-year pledges.

Community Engagement Process and Project Summary

In order to bring forth the first-of-its-kind military and veterans’ community in the Granite State, Easterseals NH committed to seeking robust and thorough feedback from the community. The community engagement process included creating a Campus Taskforce, attending local and regional site visits of high-quality military and veteran programs; conducting interviews and outreach with state officials, nonprofits, and other providers; creating, distributing, and analyzing surveys sent to providers and members of the military and veteran community; and more.
