Building Community, Breaking Down Barriers: Partner with Autism Community Connection
At Autism Community Connection (ACC), we believe that no family should be left behind because of financial constraints. As a truly grassroots community organization, we rely entirely on the generosity of sponsors like you to deliver meaningful programs and events—completely free or at minimal cost to families affected by autism.
The Power of Community Support
Every year, we serve hundreds of families across central Indiana through programs designed to foster connection, build independence, and create lasting memories. From teens discovering their strengths during summer adventures to young adults forging friendships that extend beyond our organized outings, your sponsorship directly removes financial barriers that might otherwise prevent participation.
Where Your Partnership Makes a Difference
For Our Youngest Participants: Family Game Night welcomes families of all ages to connect in a sensory-friendly environment, while our spectacular Trunk or Treat celebration draws hundreds of community members for a morning of joy, exploration, and resource sharing—all completely free.
Building Confidence in Teens: Our Teen Connection Program brings together 13-18-year-olds monthly in a judgment-free space where friendships flourish, and social confidence grows. My Summer Journey extends this impact across three transformative weeks each summer, giving teens experiences and skills that shape their futures.
Fostering Independence in Young Adults: The Young Adult Connection program serves individuals ages 19-30, many of whom are navigating jobs, college, and independent living. Through monthly community outings they help plan themselves, participants build the social and soft skills essential for long-term success—and many are now meeting independently, exactly what we hoped to achieve.
Supporting Entire Families: Parents’ Night Out provides crucial respite care, allowing caregivers to recharge while their children enjoy a safe, engaging evening. Breakfast with Santa creates magical holiday memories for families who might otherwise miss out on traditional seasonal celebrations.
Events Where Your Sponsorship Shines
Parents’ Night Out (Quarterly) Give caregivers the gift of respite while 10-20 children enjoy dinner, activities, and entertainment in a supportive environment. These evenings provide families with the break they need to recharge and return refreshed.

Join Us in Building Community
Autism Community Connection isn’t just about programs—it’s about cultivating understanding, connection, and inclusion throughout our community. Your sponsorship doesn’t just fund events; it tells families they matter, that they belong, and that their financial situation won’t determine their access to support and joy.
Together, we’re not just serving families—we’re empowering them.
Let’s create a community where everyone has the opportunity to connect, grow, and thrive. Partner with us today.
