children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism — and millions of adults remain underserved

Fund Something Concrete

These programs put your donation into a specific, trackable outcome — and give you a story worth sharing.

🐎

Sponsor a Semester of Riding

$1,200

Funds a full semester of weekly therapeutic riding for one child at a PATH International–accredited equine center near LA or OC. Sessions typically run $50–150 each and are rarely covered by insurance. Your gift covers the gap.

Equine Therapy Scholarship
🐶

Sponsor a Therapy Animal

$15–25 / mo

Your monthly gift sponsors a specific therapy dog or horse in one of our partner programs. You'll receive regular updates and photos of that animal working with kids — the recurring-giving engine wrapped in the most shareable content we produce.

Communication Technology Fund

$750

Funds an AAC app, communication device, or wearable stress-regulation tool for a nonspeaking or minimally-speaking child — technology insurance won't cover. AI-powered AAC can mean the difference between 4 words a minute and a real conversation.

Service Dog Fund

Any Amount

Autism service dogs reduce meltdowns, improve sleep, and keep kids who elope safe. Legitimate placements cost $15,000–$40,000 through providers like 4 Paws for Ability and Canine Companions. Every contribution helps a SoCal family get closer to placement.

Service Dog Fund
