Overview

Mission

The mission is to raise autism awareness in boulder and broomfield counties by supporting all asd individuals and their families and professionals. We provide information on all topics related to autism, educational support, autism research, and legislation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community members with asd diagnosis were able to submit application to receive grant for up to 500 per child to be used towards a recreationally based camp experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
