Providing Funds for Autism Therapy and Care
The mission of the Allison Foundation is to provide funding grants to individuals
for autism therapy, treatment and care in Charles County, Maryland.
Autism is a mysterious disorder with no cure (learn more about autism), but hope is growing for autistic children through
many different kinds of therapy... most of which are not covered by
traditional medical insurance. Therefore, parents
of autistic children incur significant out-of-pocket expenses in order
to get help for their children.
As the Allison Foundation grows, we continue to reach
families in the Charles County community and make a real difference in helping
these beautiful children!
Throughout the year, the Allison Foundation sponsors fundraisers in order to
provide money for family grants. See our event calendar
to learn about what's coming soon and how you can get involved.
To volunteer to help with our efforts, please contact us.
