Overview

Mission

Increasing public awareness about the day to day issues involving Autism, advocating for appropriate services, and providing the latest information regarding treatment, education, reasearch, support and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy - The Autism Society Inland Empire engages with our communities, raises awareness, and encourages others to contact their local, state, or federal policymakers to advocate. This empowers people to advocate directly for their communities' needs and priorities. Additionally, we sit on several local and state task forces to ensure that the voices of individuals with Autism and their families are heard in policy discussions and decision-making processes. This involvement helps shape policies and programs that are inclusive and responsive to the needs of the Autism community. In 2024, the Autism Society Inland Empire worked on various legislative issues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
