Amplify Impact with Autism Edmonton

 

Amplify Impact with Autism Edmonton celebrates our community’s strength, resilience, and the power of collaboration to ensure autistic individuals and their families receive the support they deserve.

We are calling on our community at a pivotal moment. Our membership has doubled in the past year, and more families, youth, adults, and caregivers are turning to us for connection, navigation, information, and education — yet our funding has been reduced by nearly 50%. This puts essential programs at risk and leaves countless individuals who rely on us vulnerable to falling through the cracks. Despite this setback, the need continues to grow. Families are calling. Children are waiting. Adults seeking community are reaching out. 

We cannot — and will not — let them stand alone.

Your contribution will help stabilize and strengthen Autism Edmonton, ensuring we can continue providing the supports that matter most, including social connection groups, navigation services, caregiver and family supports, and educational outreach that fosters inclusion across our city.

You Can Help: You Can Amplify Impact:  Every dollar donated will be matched up to $500,000, doubling your impact. Together, we’re building The Village That Love Built — a community where love, inclusion, and support never end.
