SPRING FORWARD FOR AUTISM FAMILY SUPPORT GRANTS
How the program works:
Grants are designed to provide access to individuals and families in Brevard County, Florida affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Grants will be allocated based on annual fundraising activities. The Board of Directors will determine how many and the amounts of each grant at the beginning of each term. Applicants will need to apply each year for assistance. Grant approval may be expedited for applicants that are in immediate personal danger or harm, as we will try to provide immediate support based upon the need and the funds available within our grant program.
Once determined how much we can award each quarter, the board will review the following items when considering approval of a grant request.

WHY SUPPORT?
Lifetime costs of someone living with Autism range from $3 to $7 million.
Few parents can afford to directly pay for the costs of continual, lifelong individualized treatment for a single autistic child.
The Cost of Living on the Spectrum
The cost for care of a child with autism must be estimated on both direct and indirect costs for the child’s medical, behavioral, and educational programs.
