About Us

Together, we we help people of all abilities live, learn, and thrive in the community.


Since its inception, Crotched Mountain Foundation, one of New England’s most iconic non-profit organizations, has worked towards one goal: helping children, students, and adults with disabilities to live, learn, and thrive in the community.

Our programs include Crotched Mountain Community Care case management services for seniors and adults with disabilities, chronic illness, and needs related to aging throughout New Hampshire, community-based residential living options, innovative day programming for people with disabilities, affordable HUD housing for adults, accessible hiking trails, and CMF Kids, which supports community-based special education programming in local school districts.

Crotched Mountain’s impact reaches throughout New Hampshire and beyond.
