Support AASCEND!

AASCEND is a grassroots, all-volunteer community of support. We have no paid staff and receive no funding other than the support of members and friends.

AASCEND meetings and social events are always open to everyone free of charge, and even our conferences have always been offered at no cost to adults on the autism spectrum. Yet our expenses run into a few thousand dollars each year just to cover such routine costs as website and email service payments, monthly phone bill and voicemail charges, post office box rental, registration fees to participate in autism resource fairs and similar events, park rental for our annual picnic, food and drinks at monthly meetings and social events, and printing and postage to send out close to 400 Bulletins four times a year.

If you believe in AASCEND, please help us continue with your financial contribution. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
