Donations
There are so many autistic children and adults in the world who are not yet able to participate fully in the life they would otherwise freely choose. The deeply personal impact this has on each individual and their family cannot be overstated.
Davis Autism programs help to address these constraints and transform the lives of people with autism as well as the lives of the people who love and care for them.
Your donation will help us unlock each person’s unique knowledge and capabilities so they can achieve their true potential.
All donations are enormously appreciated and essential for expanding our reach and ensuring our survival as a non-profit foundation.
Please help us where you can. Your generous gift of:
-
USD$20 can provide modelling clay and tools for an autistic individual to use during their program
-
USD$100 can provide a parent or teacher with a Davis Autism Approach Program toolkit
-
USD$750 can support a parent to attend a training workshop
​The Ron Davis Autism Foundation is registered as a charity within the United States of America (USA). If you are a taxpayer within the USA, your donation will be tax deductible.
