Cash Gifts and Donations to Autism Empowerment
Welcome! Thank you for joining us in supporting youth, adults and families in Autism and Neurodivergent communities!
Together with your generosity, Autism Empowerment uplifts and empowers youth, adults, and families across the autism spectrum. Your donation helps us provide inclusive programs, compassionate education, and storytelling that promote acceptance, enrichment, inspiration, and empowerment for all.
We are an autistic and disability-led 501(c)3 nonprofit rooted in lived experience, community connection, and the belief that every person has value and purpose. As a grassroots nonprofit founded in Vancouver, WA, in June 2011, our programs serve locally in the Southwest Washington and Portland metro area, regionally throughout the Pacific Northwest, and nationally through our educational publication, Spectrum Life Magazine , and the Neurodivergent Creators Collective.
With your support, we shine a light on what’s possible. THANK YOU for joining us as an Ambassador for Acceptance of All Abilities!
