ANNOUNCEMENT February 20, 2009
The Bureau of Autism Services of the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare is pleased to announce the availability of mini-grants of up to $500 each to support individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families that include an individual with ASD.
The focus of this project is to reach out and serve individuals and families that are not able to access existing support systems for various reasons, e.g. eligibility criteria, age, waiting lists, etc.
Priority will be given to individuals who did not receive this grant from the Bureau of Autism Services in 2007 or 2008. Total funding for these mini-grants is limited and is on a first come, first served basis. Not everyone who applies will be funded.
Grant funds may be used for respite/child care, summer camp, recreational or community programs, conferences/workshops and safety modifications. Please see the application for specific information.
The application is available at the Bureau Website:

Applications must be complete and postmarked by April 17, 2009 to be considered. Applications will only be accepted by U. S. mail. A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list is also available on the website.
