How to Help
The AJ Foundation relies on the generosity and support of individuals and organizations who share their passion to help enrich the lives of children and adults with autism.
The majority of donations are used to help offset the operational expenses and to facilitate the growth and expansion of The Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC), our non-profit private school that provides education, service, and training for individuals with autism. A lesser portion of the proceeds help support the AJ Foundation's continued efforts to educate the public about autism and the most effective methods of teaching individuals with autism.
98%
of all net fundraising proceeds go directly to The Comprehensive Learning Center - supporting education, services, and training for individuals with autism.

Sponsor an Event
Sponsoring an event is a great way for companies to show their community support, gain public recognition, drive retail traffic, and build community networks — all while helping The AJ Foundation meet its fundraising goals.
We hold five major fundraisers each year, each offering sponsorship opportunities. Beyond financial support, sponsorships can include donated equipment, event prizes, and other products or services.
Call 215-598-8175 or email info@ajfoundation.org to talk through how your organization can become an official AJF sponsor. See our full events calendar for upcoming opportunities.
Employer Sponsored Campaigns and Gift Matching
United Way Donations
If you (or your employer) participate in the annual United Way campaign, you can designate The AJ Foundation as your preferred donation recipient. Recruitment of co-workers, or family members/friends of a participating organization, is a good and easy way to get donations for the foundation through these campaigns as well. AJF will provide the proper information for the United Way pledge form. Often, employers will match the contribution dollar for dollar.
Employer Sponsored Campaigns
Similar to the United Way Campaign, employers sponsor their own Gift-Giving Campaigns which provide employees the opportunity to donate to their favorite charity.
Simply request that The AJ Foundation to be added to the list of charitable organizations at your place of work, and select us during your next Gift-Giving Campaign.
Employer Gift Matching
Many companies match employees’ donations to charitable events and organizations.
Please inquire if your employer, or those of your family and friends, provide this type of funding opportunity.
