MyGOAL offers a yearly grant to families across the United States, to support and care for individuals under 18 years old with autism.
MyGOAL Autism Grant is a program to support families caring for individuals with Autism. The MyGOAL Autism Grant is offered once a year, applications are available at the beginning of the year and decisions are rendered in mid-July.
In 2023, we will provide 1,000 to 25 families throughout the United States. Applicants must be the primary caregiver of the individual on the Autism Spectrum and provide the following:
- A completed Medical Health Assessment Questionnaire showing verification of diagnosis, including age at diagnosis and current age, autism severity, level of functioning, social engagement and coping skills.
- A detailed description of your current family’s situation including members within the household, social/economic support system; employment status, and what the grant will be used for. The following information should be included;
- Number of dependents
- Number of dependents with Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Information about what current funding the grantee is receiving (i.e. medical, nutrition, personal, enrichment, education and socialization needs)
- Proof of household income: Most current tax return or SSI notification. (Paystubs and W-2 will not be accepted)
