How does the Foundation decide which requests to support?

Foundation support is based on mission alignment, charitable purpose, documented need, available funding, potential community benefit, and the Foundation’s ability to provide responsible oversight.

Can I request support if I do not have Medicaid or a state-funded waiver?

Yes. The Foundation’s support may include individuals and families who do not have access to Medicaid waiver funding, state-funded services, or other resources that could help cover participation costs. Availability of Foundation support will still depend on funding, eligibility, and the requirements of the specific opportunity.

How are donations used?

Donations help advance Autumn’s Gift Foundation’s charitable mission and may support scholarships, inclusive experiences, retreats, participation-related assistance, signature initiatives, and other approved charitable activities. Unless a gift is accepted for a specific approved purpose, contributions may be directed where they can responsibly make the greatest impact.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Contributions to Autumn’s Gift Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donors should consult their tax advisor regarding their individual circumstances.

Can I make a recurring donation?
