AutismCares Grants Application Deadline is December 22nd

AutismCares provides financial assistance up to $1,000 per family in cases of hardship or emergency. Applications are due on December 22nd this month to be eligible for the grant.  

You can find the link to start the grant application process on the their website.  You'll need start a user account on their website.  If, in the last 90 days, you've experienced a job loss, foreclosure on your home, natural disaster, a death or critical illness, or termination of employment, you're family might qualify for an award of financial support.  According to their site, they review applications once per month, so you might consider applying a second or a third time, if your family is not chosen the first time.

I think it's great that organizations like AutismCares offers assistance to families in need under these types of circumstances.  Do you know of other resources where families with a child or family member with autism can receive financial asssistance?  Let us know in the comments, I'd love to post about other resources.
