Overview

Through these grants and the activities they fund, the organization will support social welfare generally. The service projects led by the organization achieve these same purposes, particularly activities such as the making of modifications to the homes of low-income disabled individuals. The conferences hosted by the organization, such as the autism conferences, serve educational purposes, educating the public on various issues related to autism.
