Deductible Charitable Contributions
Donate To Ascent
Donations
Ascent is committed to providing science-based education and treatment to children with autism. We are dedicated to helping children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities live a life of purpose and fulfillment. Our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care and services is made possible because of the generous support from families and friends.
Throughout the year, funds are raised through a variety of initiatives including special events, major donor gift opportunities, the capital campaign, grants from corporations, foundations and certain governmental agencies, as well as donations from individual supporters.
The funds that are raised are used to bring state of the art equipment to our programs that promote innovative learning, enhance safety, and strengthen supports and services for the students at Ascent.
