NCSA Launches State-Based Resources List

March 3, 2022 Jill Escher

We list nonprofits from almost all 50 states.

NCSA is pleased to announced the debut of its state-based nonprofit resources list. Crowdsourced from our Facebook page, it features nonprofits that serve individuals with severe autism, whether in modest or grand fashion.

Please note our list is crowd-sourced and not professionally vetted. Inclusion does not imply endorsement, and omission does not imply any sort of disapproval.

To visit a list for a particular state, please visit the page here and scroll down to that state.

For more general and national nonprofits, please click here.

Want to add a nonprofit to the list? Please email us at info@ncsautism.org.
