We need your urgent action now to help fund the gap!   Did you know that Illinois is ranked 49th in the nation in its funding commitment for community-based services for people with disabilities?!   Please help fund the gap now at www.LittleCity.org/Gap for the people with disabilities who call Little City home!   Despite the support from the state for those we serve, there is no new funding that will change that ranking in the current Illinois budget - making it significantly more challenging to provide the vital programs and services the people with disabilities need and deserve.   So, we are asking for your URGENT help -    #1 SHARE this message to help spread awareness about this significant funding gap.   #2 DONATE now to help fund the gap! Every dollar - $25, $50, $100 - enables us to provide a community and comprehensive scope of services that are not currently funded for people with disabilities at Little City!   Help fund the gap now at www.LittleCity.org/Gap

Tomorrow morning, 6am! Another month, 2023, where are you going? Help us raise money for the autism charity, Annakennedyonline and raise awareness, acceptance and inclusion of autism.

Our top priority is to expand and innovate to serve more individuals and families in need. We've come far in 20 years, but the need for lifetime support is enormous. We must meet the demand for services that grow as our children grow up into adulthood. Living, leisure, learning, and earning are all critical areas we are poised and ready to address. As a grassroots, parent-led organization, we rely on community support to operate. Where will we be in 20 years without family and community involvement? Families rely on AutismUp programs and support, and we need everyone's help to ensure they remain available. Imagine the possibilities we can create with your involvement! This is where your support becomes crucial. We have a monumental challenge to raise $100,000 towards our KiteFlite Fundraising Challenge by August 11, 2024, in honor of our 20th anniversary. A gift of any amount will go a long way in helping us achieve this goal and make a tangible impact on the lives of those affected by autism now.  Your immediate support will help us expand programs and services for all ages and lead a comprehensive housing analysis for individuals with autism and I/DD in Rochester. Please consider donating to a formed KiteFlite Team, or creating your own team to fundraise for AutismUp within your #Community and #Network https://lnkd.in/eSaW-X8z Your support is an investment in a more inclusive and supportive future for individuals with autism. #DonateToday #HelpFamiliesSOAR #CommunityStrong

Around 2.2% of adults in the U.S. are on the autism spectrum, but many of them struggle to find employment. Mind Shift is helping by providing specialized employment support, funded by donations. Supporting one candidate costs $5000. Your donation can expand their impact and connect more autistic individuals with job opportunities. They encourage spreading awareness of autism inclusion in the workforce and sharing their mission's link. https://lnkd.in/d3PfjdsE #Mindshift #AutismInclusion #Neurodiversity #MindShiftMission #EmploymentOpportunities

Charities are the heroes, we must support them as much as we can. They offer tangible advice, guidance and emotional support to those that need it most, and can generally struggle for funding and resources. Number 16 suggests partnering with charities to design useful resources for autistic people. "16. Work with autism charities to produce “autism design guides” for a range of industries. Show how to create appropriate and supportive design of premises, furnishings, equipment and procedures, and include examples of where these have worked well." Take it that step further and create a social media strategy around content to help autistic people engage with your business and feel understood. This can be a great way to attract autistic talent and build a reputation in the autism employment space. Appealing to talent in the autistic community will not only enrich your culture and diversity, but bring out the best of your own staff and products/services down the line. Think ahead! #AutismEmployment #AutimaticUK #AutismAtWork
