2012 Autism Mini Grant Information

Visit the link below for the  2012 Autism Mini Grant Application



The Bureau of Autism Services of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare is pleased to announce the availability of mini

grants to support children and adults with an autism spectrum disorder, ASD, and families that include an individual with ASD.


A focus of this project is to reach out and serve individuals and families that are not able to access existing support systems for various reasons (for example: eligibility criteria, age, waiting lists). The term "family" may include an immediate family member or other relative, a person providing foster care or a legal guardian or custodian, but does not include a person or entity who acts in a paid employment capacity. These grants are funding opportunities that will only be offered once and are time limited.

Applicants meeting eligibility requirements may apply for up to $500 in grant funds. Priority will first be given to applicants age 18 or older who did not receive a Bureau of Autism Services Mini

Grant in any previous funding year (20072011). Priority will then be given to other individuals who did not receive funding in previous years. Total funding for these minigrants is limited and is on a firstcome, firstserved basis. Not everyone who applies for this grant will be funded.


In order to be eligible, applicants must:
1. Be a Pennsylvania resident.
2. Have a family member with autism (of any age) or be an individual with autism.

3. Not be currently receiving and/or enrolled in any family support services for the past 12 months.
