Hi John — we're launching the FINAL push of our fiscal year starting today! That means every gift to Autism Speaks is matched dollar-for-dollar right now, so claim your 2X match >>

I'll be blunt: This upcoming fiscal year-end deadline on March 31 is the most important deadline of the year. Why? Because where we land after we close the books directly impacts how many individuals in the autism community — family members, caregivers, advocates, researchers and people on the spectrum — we can support in the coming year. Period.

To ensure that we can fund 100% of our wide spectrum of services and resources that have helped millions of people with autism, I am asking directly, John: Will you donate to provide 2X the support and 2X the hope for autistic individuals and their families? Your gift is MATCHED 2X right now, up to $25,000!

We are so grateful that the Autism Speaks family includes people from all 50 states and every walk of life. Our family includes people with autism and people impacted by autism.

But what connects us across distances and differences is the abiding belief that every single person deserves dignity, acceptance and the equal opportunity to achieve their full potential. The mission of Autism Speaks is to create a world where everyone with autism spectrum disorder truly belongs — no matter how old they are, where they live or where they are on their autism journey.

I know you're deeply invested in this mission too, John. We have a major deadline coming up — our final deadline of the fiscal year. And we don't know yet if we'll be able to fully fund next year's commitments.

It's up to you. Please, if you can, donate today to claim your 2X MATCH for our fiscal year-end drive. Double your impact for every young person, adult and senior on the spectrum out there who needs an ally:

I know we can reach our goal! Thank you for everything,

Kelli Seely
Chief Marketing Officer
