Autism Acceptance Month

This April, the Autism Society of America is proud to continue its fifth annual #CelebrateDifferences campaign in honor of Autism Acceptance Month. Everyday, we work to create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community to live fully. We believe that acceptance is creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it. And by everyone, we mean every unique individual: the implacable, inimitable, and irreplaceable you.

Your support helps us connect Autistic individuals and their networks of support to education, resources, advocacy, and above all, to each other.

Peer-to-Peer
Fundraising

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a great way to rally your community or social network to raise money for the Autism Society. You can create a personalized fundraising page specifically for the Autism Society through either Facebook or Give Lively and invite your family, friends, neighbors, and other interested parties to contribute to your overall donation goal. All donations given through these avenues are tax-deductible for both you and anyone else who contributes. The Autism Society will receive the funds automatically when the fundraiser concludes.

Facebook:
Go to the Autism Society’s Facebook page and select “Create a Fundraiser”. You can follow the prompts to set your overall fundraising goal and the length of the fundraiser.
GiveLively:
Go to our GiveLively page. Click “I Want to Fundraise For This”, which will give you the option to join or create a fundraising team or to run your own fundraising page. You can then follow the prompts to set your overall fundraising goal and the length of the fundraiser.

Alternate Ways to Support

If you’re looking for an alternate way to support the Autism Society, you can also consider the following options:

Donate Your Insurance Policy

Are you paying premiums for a life insurance policy you no longer need? Consider donating it to the Autism Society. Utilizing a well-established concept known as life settlements, donated life insurance policies may be sold for the policy’s true market value. Those proceeds, in turn, can be reallocated to the initiatives and goals that our organization wishes to accomplish on behalf of those we serve.
