The NAD is powered by individuals and organizations who support our mission to preserve, protect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf and hard of hearing people.

Whether you’re here to connect, contribute, organize, or partner, there’s a place for you in this movement. Choose how you want to get involved—and take action with us.

Membership means more than staying informed—it means standing with a national community committed to leadership, access, and justice.

Whether you’re joining as an individual or organization, you’re supporting the NAD’s work to protect rights and expand opportunities. Members receive email updates, a digital magazine, event opportunities, and more ways to stay engaged.

Join today to advance our rights and create lasting change.

Your donation helps protect civil rights, fund programs, and train leaders and advocates.

You can give once, set up a monthly donation, or explore options like workplace matching and planned giving. Gifts can also be made to a specific fund or in honor or memory of a person or loved ones.

Every contribution counts—and every dollar supports the NAD mission.
