APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in recognition of April as Autism Awareness Month, The Sinneave Family Foundation and its Board of Directors have repurposed a portion of 2020 operating dollars previously allocated to support large group events to establish an Autism Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

This portion of the Response Fund is intended to assist autism serving non-profit organizations in Calgary and the surrounding area in providing direct services that support the well-being and mental health of autistic adolescents and adults, and their families during this challenging time.  Eligible organizations are invited to apply during the month of April for a one-time grant of up to $15,000.
