Resources for Families
The Autism on the Seas Foundation recognizes that it cannot meet the overwhelming need for financial support that exists in the population we serve. This page contains additional resources for families we have encountered on our own search for funding.
Please note, we cannot guarantee nor do we endorse external resources presented here. Not all of them align with our mission of providing assistance for staff-assisted vacations. We just hope that even one family can find the help they need on this page.
