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. The AJ Foundation historically donates over 98% of all net proceeds from its fundraising activities to CLC.

In addition to participating in fundraising events, there are a variety of ways you can make a tax deductible contribution:

Employer Sponsored Campaigns and Gift Matching

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.
