As Avondale House approaches its 50th anniversary next year, we’re celebrating five decades of commitment to individuals with profound autism and their families. But this milestone isn’t just about looking back, it’s about laying the foundation for the next 50 years of impact. 

That’s why, for the first time in our organization’s history, Avondale House is proud to launch The Avondale Fund, our official annual fund designed to sustain and strengthen our mission to provide individuals with autism the resources, education, and support they need to reach their fullest potential and thrive across a lifetime. 

The Avondale Fund is the foundation of our yearly fundraising efforts. It bridges the gap between public funding and the true cost of delivering high-quality, individualized care through our four core programs: 

• Year-Round Private Day School 

• Adult Day Program 

• Residential Services 

• Employment Services 

    

Why Now? 

As we enter our 50th year, the need has never been greater, and neither has the opportunity.  

As the prevalence of autism rises, so does the demand for Avondale House’s highly specialized programs, and with it, the need for consistent, annual support. Public funding alone cannot cover the full cost of evidence-based education, 24/7 care, behavioral support, community integration, and more. 

The Avondale Fund was created to bridge that gap, ensuring every individual we serve receives the dignity, structure, and lifelong support they deserve, regardless of changes in funding or external circumstances.   

Your Impact, Every Day. 

Gifts to The Avondale Fund have a direct and immediate impact on the lives of those we serve daily. Unlike restricted grants or campaign donations, gifts to this fund are flexible and unrestricted allowing us to meet urgent needs, adapt to unexpected challenges, and continue delivering the personalized care that sets Avondale House apart. 

Your gift ensures: 

• Every student receives year-round, evidence-based education tailored to their unique needs 

• Adults continue accessing educational opportunities focused on life skills and independence 

• Our residential homes remain safe, fully staffed, and equipped for 24/7 care 

• Employment services create purpose and pride for adults with autism 

• Our staff, the heart of our programs, are trained, supported, and retained 

• We can respond to urgent needs, funding gaps, and unforeseen challenges with agility and compassion 

    

Ways to Give 

• One-time or monthly gifts 

• Matching gifts through employers 

• Tribute gifts (in honor or memory) 

• Pledges and multi-year commitments 

• Stock or donor-advised fund contributions 

Together, let’s honor the past by preparing for the future.
