Autism Grant Resources for Families

NAA is pleased to provide grants to families seeking treatments for their children with autism.  It is our hope that the Helping Hands grants might provide the seed money for a child’s ultimate recovery.  Applications are accepted once yearly, generally between June 1 and July 15, but interested parties should check the website for any updates.

• Here is the website for the National Autism Association:    http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/

• Information on the Helping Hands grant program can be found under the tab “Help for Families“.

You might note we have an awesome conference coming up in November!

Unfortunately, we can only fund a small percentage of the applications we receive.  There are some other grants that might possibly be of assistance to your families:

• Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) also has a grant program for biomedical treatments for families who have been members for six months or more.  It’s a good idea to join a local chapter (no cost) and start benefitting from the member benefits, including parent mentors.  TACA has a grant program for families in crisis as well:    http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/fic/fic_overview.htm

• Generation Rescue also has a grant program for biomedical treatments: http://www.generationrescue.org/about/grants
