Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire

What Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire does

The Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire (BIANH) is a Concord, New Hampshire-based 501(c)-style nonprofit founded in 1983 by parents of brain-injured children and teens. It is the only statewide organization in New Hampshire dedicated exclusively to brain injury and stroke support, prevention, education, and advocacy, and operates as a chartered state affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA). The organization reports helping over 1,000 individuals annually across the state who have sustained traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, aneurysm, concussion, anoxic injury, and other acquired brain injuries.

BIANH delivers a coordinated portfolio of community-based services organized around four pillars: prevention, education, advocacy, and support. Core programs include Neuro-Resource Facilitation (NRF), a free specialty care coordination and case management service; a statewide helpline at 1-800-773-8400; peer support groups across Conway, Nashua, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Derry, Concord, Keene, Manchester, and virtual; the Return-to-Learn School Program with IEP support; Return-to-Work resources; Brain Injury & Substance Use Disorder training; Self-Advocacy Training; the quarterly Headway newsletter; and advocacy infrastructure including the Brain & Spinal Cord Injury Advisory Council (BSCIAC). Specialized service lines target veterans (via a dedicated nh-veteran.com website), adolescents and young adults, and families/caregivers. Annual touchpoints include the Brain Injury & Stroke Conference (in its 41st year), the Brain Matters training event, and the Walk by the Sea fundraiser.

Revenue is derived from donations, fundraising events, likely state agency contracts (NH Bureau of Developmental Services, Area Agencies, Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation), and grants; all services to survivors and families are provided free of charge. The organization has 11-50 employees and partners with state agencies, healthcare systems (St. Joseph Hospital, Northeast Rehab, Portsmouth Regional Hospital), and educational bodies (NH Interscholastic Athletic Association, NH DOE). It has no disclosed revenue, no AI/technology product, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• National Stroke Association: Stroke-focused national nonprofit offering education, resources, and recovery support to stroke survivors and caregivers; meaningful overlap with BIANH's stroke survivor segment but national rather than single-state and without BIANH's TBI breadth.
• National Association of State Head Injury Administrators: Membership association of state government brain injury program administrators; comparable in advocacy and policy focus, but oriented toward state agency staff rather than direct survivor services, with partial overlap in training and legislative work.

Broad incumbents

• American Stroke Association (American Heart Association): National large-scale organization dedicated to stroke education, prevention, and research; BIANH explicitly includes stroke survivors in its mission, making this a broad incumbent with overlapping stroke survivor audience but much larger scale and broader scope.

Regional players

• Granite State Independent Living: New Hampshire-based center for independent living providing disability services, advocacy, and peer support; comparable in serving NH residents with brain injury and other disabilities, but focused on independent living rather than brain injury specialty.
• Easterseals New Hampshire: Regional disability services nonprofit operating in NH with overlapping populations (disability, return-to-work, family support) and a comparable community-based service delivery model, but broader disability focus rather than brain injury specialization.

Direct peers

• Brain Injury Association of America: National umbrella organization for state brain injury associations; BIANH is a chartered state affiliate, making BIAA the closest structural and functional peer. Operates shared advocacy, training, and public awareness infrastructure across all U.S. states.
• Brain Injury Association of Maine: Another New England chartered state affiliate of BIAA serving Maine brain injury survivors with a directly comparable community-based service and advocacy model.
• Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut: Chartered state affiliate of BIAA serving Connecticut with a similar mix of support groups, resource facilitation, advocacy, and education programming for brain injury and stroke survivors.
• Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts: State-level chartered affiliate of BIAA serving Massachusetts brain injury survivors with a directly comparable service model including support groups, helpline, advocacy, and case management.
