Transform Lives in the Inland Empire with your Contribution
Join Us in Making a Difference!
For over 37 years, the Autism Society Inland Empire has been a beacon of hope, transforming the lives of those affected by Autism in our community.
Your contribution is more than just a donation; it's a lifeline.
It connects children and adults with Autism and their families to the support they need exactly when they need it most. We proudly serve families across the Inland Empire and the Coachella Valley. The need is immense, with over 20,000 children and adults in these regions requiring support, education, and safe places to be part of the community. In California, 1 in 22 children is now diagnosed with Autism, and this number continues to grow. The situation is urgent, and your support is crucial.

- Answered over 2,000 inquiries from families seeking guidance.
- Hosted over 175 community events for over 10,000 people to celebrate and support our loved ones with Autism.
