At The RACHEL Project, we foster greater independence and fulfillment for adult individuals and their families touched by Autism without the red tape.
We understand the unique challenges that come with being an adult on the Autism spectrum. We are dedicated to offering financial support to help families and individuals thrive across a lifetime. We believe that every adult with autism deserves the chance to lead a fulfilling and independent life. By partnering with us, you can help provide, or receive, the resources and support necessary to help clients achieve their goals.
How You Can Help
Your financial contributions enable us to provide grants for the following:
- Educational programs for individuals, families, or community-based living homes on nutrition, exercise, and physical health aimed at combating obesity and boredom.
- Employment assistance uniquely tailored to the individual to include possibility of a direct pay of a 1:1 aide when available, promoting independence and self-sufficiency.
- Medical support for non-covered procedures, obesity treatment, co-pays, medication, mobility needs, mental health therapy, or alternative treatments such as equine therapy, music therapy, and nutritional support.
- Technology, to include augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices and iPads, to help individuals better navigate their daily lives, create independence, and communicate more effectively.

Be the Change: Empower Lives with The RACHEL Project
Your partnership delivers direct aid to adults with autism, fostering independence and inclusion. Help us create impactful change through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness. Together, we can bring hope to those in need.
Why Partner With Us?
Impactful Change: Please consider donating. Your partnership will directly contribute to improving the lives of adults with autism and/or intellectual disability, helping them achieve their full potential and lead independent lives. Financial aid is directly given to those in need without any red tape.
Community Engagement: There is a tremendous need for support for adults in our community as services, providers, and opportunities have been cut across the board. Help demonstrate your commitment to creating a more supportive and healthy community in which individuals and families are not left to suffer alone.
Corporate Responsibility: Show your dedication to social responsibility for the less fortunate by directly supporting a cause that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion.
Spread Awareness: Help us raise awareness about our Non-Profit by sharing our website with your friends, family and social networks. Increased awareness leads to greater support and allows us to help meet the needs of more people and families affected by autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities.
Individuals and families in our community are suffering due to lack of government funding of services for adults. We CAN make a difference by directly funding those most affected by Autism. The need is immense! Together we can ensure more people have the resources, and the HOPE, needed to thrive and live a fulfilling life. Non profits in this space dedicated to adults are nearly non existent. Help us make a change.
Thank you for your commitment to our mission and for being a part of our community.
