The Larson Family Foundation
The Taubert Memorial Foundation
Major Donors
2022
Both of these foundations provided donations of over $6,000 during 2021-2022 when Covid deeply affected our ability to raise needed funds. Our ability to continue serving and celebrating members of the autism community was greatly enhanced due to their help. Thank You!
