Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM)

AuSM’s mission to educate, support, and advocate for the autism community relies on the generosity of people like you. Your donation makes a real, tangible impact—helping us create resources, programs, and connections that empower autistic individuals and their families across Minnesota.

Double Your Impact 

Thanks to the generosity of our matching grant donor, every gift made from November 1 to November 21 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000, meaning your donation will go twice as far in supporting AuSM’s work! 

Why We Give

We asked our donors why they choose to give to AuSM, and their words speak volumes about the importance of this work:

• "I donate to support the great work AuSM is doing. As an autistic adult, I value that AuSM makes an effort to hire individuals with lived experience in neurodivergence for the majority of their roles. This results in a better client experience and better resources, trainings, workshops, etc."
• "AuSM is the main resource for support, information, and education around autism in Minnesota. There is no state-funded entity that provides what you do. You are the lifeline for parents, individuals, kids, young adults, and adults. No other organization makes the difference you do in people’s lives."
• "I donate because of the support and advocacy which you provide for adults with autism."

Your donation to AuSM during Give to the Max Day ensures we can continue making a difference—whether it’s through legislative advocacy, employment workshops, sensory-friendly resources, or simply being there for families when they need it most.

Power Hour: Make Your Gift Go Further! Give between 10:00-10:59 a.m. or 10:00-10:59 p.m. on November 21 to help AuSM win a prize grant!
