Overview
Mission
To improve and enrich the quality of life of Autistic Teens and Adults and their families through community advocacy and outreach, peer supports, education, and information and referral services, at no cost to our members.
What it reported doing in 2023
Information and Referral Services: We provide information and referral services for all individuals, families, professionals, and support staff who require resources related to autism specific support groups, clinicians, disability services, disability advocacy, and general assistance in their residential location regionally, nationally, and globally. Our trained staff assisted 3,408 individual contacts during the fiscal year with autism related requests through our general email account, our website contact form, toll-free phone service, Facebook messages, Twitter replies, and LinkedIn contacts. Additionally, we send informational email newsletters to our membership of over 20,000 people notifying them of resources in various locations across the U.S. and Canada.
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 - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
