Today is the big day! We will start accepting applications for our Cheerful Giving initiative on November 11, 2024 at 8:00am EST. To submit your application, visit this link: https://autismfaithnetwork.com/cheerful-giving-application/. Applications will be accepted until donor funds are spent. In years past, we have run out of funds on the first day, so please don’t delay if you would like to apply for Cheerful Giving.
Our Cheerful Giving initiative provides sensory toys, tools, and supports for autistic persons in need. Applicants can choose ONE item from our Amazon Wishlist that costs less than $50.00. Items on the list include headphones, fidget toys, sensory lamps, weighted vests and blankets, books, and much more! Please take time to review the list so that you will choose the best item for yourself or your loved one.
This initiative is available for autistic persons of any age living in the continental United States. Several autistic persons from one household may apply, but a separate application must be made for each person. Proof of an autism diagnosis is required. Please make sure that you read the terms and conditions for your participation. If you have any questions, send an email to: Cheerful@autismfaithnetwork.com. Feel free to share information about Cheerful Giving with any autistic person who can benefit from these resources.
A huge THANK YOU goes out to our wonderful donors! Their generosity has made this initiative possible each year since 2021. Giving Tuesday is coming up this year on December 3, 2024. If you would like to support our work, please consider making a donation here.
