We’re proud to spotlight the following Washington based organizations who share our altruistic devotion to enriching lives of those with autism.
An annual tradition for the past 11 years, Autism Day at Jubilee Farm is a free, fun-filled event designed for families touched by autism – a chance to relax in a beautiful setting surrounded by people who understand. Various individuals, companies, service providers and organizations wishing to reach out to the autism community provide free activities with our children in mind. The event is spread out with booths, an hour long slip-n-slide event, adaptive cycling, and various food vendors, hayrides, farm animals, beautiful flowers, open spaces and camaraderie.
Founder Lynn Banki’s gift to the autism community is enjoyed by hundreds touched by autism each year.
Faced with the tremendous loss of their son Isaac in 2007, Holly and Reed Lytle founded the ISAAC Foundation in 2007. The ISAAC Foundation provides grants for needed therapies to children with ASD’s living in Spokane, Stevens, Lincoln, Whitman and Kootenai Counties.
Grants are based on the amount of out-of pocket monthly therapy expenses the applicant’s family is expected to pay. The financial income of the family is not considered for grant determination.
The Seattle Children’s Autism Guild formed to support the Seattle Children’s Autism Center’s efforts to eliminate barriers for care and to ensure families have access to diagnostic and clinical services. As a part of efforts to support The Autism Center, the guild strives to foster hope in those families affected by autism. As a local and national resource, the guild is involved in promoting autism awareness and committed to raising funds for autism and to promote the programs that are continually growing at the Seattle Children’s Autism Center.
The Outdoors for All Foundation is a national leader and one of the largest nonprofit organizations providing year round instruction in outdoor recreation for people with physical, developmental, and sensory disabilities since 1978.
Its roots began with fifteen children with disabilities learning to downhill ski at The Summit at Snoqualmie. Today we now offer numerous year round recreation opportunities for over 2,000 participants a year all with the help of a dozen dedicated staff and over 700 volunteers.
