Overview

Mission

Information and support for families impacted by autism.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy support provides funding ($200) to families that are in need of a special needs advocate to attend their child's school district meetings. The advocates are licensed and trained in special education services. The special education advocates help to ensure children with disabilities are getting the appropriate services and support in the school district. Feat will pay the advocate directly once their services have been provided.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
