Family Grants

Many children with Asperger’s Syndrome could benefit greatly from services and programs which can incur significant financial expense for the average family. AANE has the pleasure of providing easy access to financial assistance for families WHO LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND and need a little help paying for these services.

We currently have three options for people seeking financial aid. These programs are very similar, but contain several differing stipulations:

The Phillips Foundation:

  • Families living in Plymouth County only
  • Grants between $50 and $1000
  • No income cut-offs, but intended for low to moderate income households

The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism:

  • Families living anywhere in New England except Plymouth County
  • Grants between $50 and $500
  • Income cut-offs at the top of the moderate income bracket, as defined by the Federal Government:
