Hi John,

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesdayNow - a global day of giving and unity,
especially during these trying times - which means it's your
chance to make double the impact for people with autism and their
families: [link removed]

Now more than ever, the autism community needs our support, and we
are counting on you to help us provide critical information, resources
and assistance.

A generous anonymous donor is graciously matching all donations, up to
$25,000, to support families impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, so your donation can now go twice as far. We're getting an
early start on the day now - would you consider donating to inspire a
wave of altruism and kindness during these challenging times?

I'd like to share a little more about how your donation will
make an immediate impact on real families who urgently need help.
Since the onset of this crisis:

* We've experienced a more than 30% increase in requests
from individuals, families, caregivers and providers who
urgently need our help via the Autism Response Team. They are
fielding thousands of calls and emails per week, and we know the
needs of our community will only increase over the coming weeks
and months.
* Applications for Autism Speaks Cares Grants, which provide
direct financial support to those who need it most, grew from
single digits to the hundreds in a matter of days, and they
continue to increase each day.
* Our COVID-19 web pages, offering vital answers and resources in
this incredibly difficult time, have been accessed more than
110,000 times.

We are here to help, and we count on our generous donors to help us be
there for our community's diverse and evolving needs which are
as varied as the autism spectrum itself.

If you are in a position to give any amount, please know that during
#GivingTuesdayNow every dollar will have twice the impact to help real
families, friends and members of our community get through these
unprecedented and difficult times: [link removed]

With gratitude and hope,

Vice President, Individual & Foundation Relations
