Seacoast Outright

What Seacoast Outright does

Seacoast Outright, now operating as New Hampshire Outright, is a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based nonprofit organization founded in 1993 by concerned parents and community members to support LGBTQ+ youth. It provides direct peer-support groups for youth and young adults, caregiver support groups, a statewide NH GSA Network for student-led Gay-Straight Alliances, and educational trainings on LGBTQ+ inclusion for schools and community organizations. The organization also runs the annual Portsmouth PRIDE event and an outreach initiative called Out! And Into Open Arms, and maintains a documented history of advocacy for state-level LGBTQ+ rights including marriage equality, adoption rights, and bans on conversion therapy.

The organization operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees and delivers services statewide across New Hampshire through in-person community programs, school partnerships, and digitally distributed resources. Its core technology stack consists of a Squarespace-hosted website (nhoutright.org) and ancillary e-commerce storefronts on Bonfire and Square for branded merchandise; no proprietary software, app, or AI components are present.

The business model is a community-led nonprofit funded primarily by individual donations, sponsorships from named partners (Lactalis, Grim North, University of New Hampshire, Diversions), and merchandise proceeds. All programmatic services for LGBTQ+ youth, caregivers, and community members are delivered free of charge, and the organization uses grassroots community connections, school partnerships, and events like Portsmouth PRIDE as its primary go-to-market motion for acquiring and supporting beneficiaries.
