Fundraising and Charitable Giving

 

The Friendship Network is a one-of-a-kind grassroots organization  that  dramatically improves the quality of life for children with autism. Our unique social accessibility model has led to countless success stories both big and small, such as these heartwarming firsts:

  • First words
  • First birthday party with friends 
  • First time they feel understood
  • First invitation for a play date
  • First text message
  • First authentic connection with others

In order for us continue we need your help!

Did you know...

  • The Friendship Network for Children is a nonprofit organization.
  • Fees from parents only cover 1/3 of our costs.
  • Our present fundraising goal is $50,000 and we have a long way to go.
  • Every dollar you donate benefits children with autism right here in the local community.
  • Money from larger autism organizations does not trickle down to us.  
  • We have an award-winning staff and a ground-breaking advocacy group for teens with autism that would not exist without community support and donations.  
  • We hold a fundraising concert in May, and have other fun events throughout the year. Watch our home page for updates.

We depend on donations. No donation is too small!
