Pledging Your Birthday/Holiday/Milestone
Several people have pledged their birthdays inviting friends and family to make donations in any amount to ASAT. Others have organized a campaign around a holiday or other special event (e.g., graduation). These campaigns have enabled a broader array of individuals to learn more about ASAT and why our mission and values are important.

Give with Bing
Many people think that ASAT is a large organization, but did you know that it is composed almost entirely of volunteers and is funded by donations from people like you? In order to continue our mission of disseminating evidence-based autism intervention, we need continued support. One easy way to contribute is to set up Give with Bing so that your internet searches generate donations. If you read our newsletter, share our resources, or believe in our goals, please sign up today and select ASAT.

Donation Jars
Donation jars can be displayed at a wide array of business establishments to help educate consumers and to raise money to support ASAT’s mission. ASAT will provide the materials needed (Donation jars, an ASAT information insert card for the donation jar, ASAT business cards, and signage) for any participating business.
ASAT appreciates our participating fundraising businesses and in order to reciprocate our gratitude for helping us to promote evidence-based treatments in autism, we will provide publicity and social media support to build awareness about the business. Here are several examples of businesses in Maine, New Jersey, and California that have already successfully participated.

Icons can be sold for $1 or the customer can donate at a level of his/her choice. April is Autism Awareness month, which is a wonderful time to bring awareness, but a paper icon campaign can be implemented any time throughout the year.
