The need is urgent

How will your partnership address the needs of the autism community?

In the year 2000, 1 in every 150 children was diagnosed with autism; today, that number is 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism.

Maximize your company's impact by partnering with Autism Speaks. Your commitment translates into meaningful benefits for both your organization and the autism community: 

Make a measurable difference  

At Autism Speaks, 90 cents of every dollar we receive helps funds programs and services to increase understanding and acceptance, advance ground-breaking research, increase childhood screening and interventions, help young people transition to adulthood, and ensure that our community has access to reliable information and services across the life span. Our work is possible because of companies like yours.  

Engage customers and drive sales  

We work closely with our partners to support and implement programs that seamlessly align with your business goals, culture, and customer needs. By enhancing your association with Autism Speaks, you not only demonstrate your commitment to a worthy cause but also foster customer engagement and drive sales through purpose-driven initiatives. 

Inspire employee pride and team building  

Corporate volunteerism empowers employees to participate in volunteer activities in the community. In Deloitte's Volunteerism Survey, results  reveal that employees who frequently participate in workplace volunteer activities are more likely to be proud, loyal and satisfied employees, as compared to those who rarely or never volunteer. These and other findings suggest a link between volunteerism and several drivers of employee perceptions of positive corporate culture. By joining forces with Autism Speaks, you not only contribute to a meaningful cause but also inspire a sense of pride among your employees, fostering a positive workplace culture and team cohesion. 

Build more inclusive workplaces and communities 

Your partnership extends beyond financial support; it actively contributes to building more inclusive workplaces and communities. By aligning with Autism Speaks and participating in programs like Workplace Inclusion Now (WIN), or earning an Autism Friendly Designation training, positions your organization as a leader in fostering understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals with autism.
