On August 21, 2025, the Autism Faith Network will celebrate a special milestone — five years as a nonprofit organization!
What started as a vision to help places of worship become more autism-friendly has grown into a nationwide effort touching countless lives. Over the years, we’ve worked with congregations to create welcoming worship experiences, provided sensory tools and supports and food for families in need, and built a caring community of supporters like you.
We couldn’t have reached this moment without YOU.
To our subscribers, donors, volunteers, and partners — thank you. Your prayers, time, and generosity have helped us keep going and growing.
New Grant Announcement
We’re thrilled to share that the Hedera Foundation has awarded us with a grant to expand our Cheerful Giving Initiative in Coweta and Fayette Counties, GA. Our Cheerful Giving Initiative provides sensory tools and supports for autistic persons in need. Thanks to the Hedera Foundation, we’ll be launching the initiative for autistic children in Coweta and Fayette Counties this Fall, and we can’t wait to share the impact with you! More details are coming, so stay tuned!

Annual Giving Campaign
Our Annual Giving Campaign will kick off on our anniversary, August 21st! While we’ll share more details soon, we encourage you to start thinking about how you can support the Autism Faith Network with a tax-deductible donation. Every gift — large or small — helps us continue our mission and reach even more families.
As we look forward to our anniversary celebration and the exciting months ahead, we remain deeply grateful for your support. Together, we are building a world where local and faith communities embrace and uplift autistic individuals and their families.
📅 Mark your calendar for August 21st — we have much to celebrate, and you are a vital part of our story.
With gratitude,
