Community Grants

Community Grants graphic*At this time, ASVC is not accepting grant applications. Financial constraints and current obligations prevent our ability to fund community grants. We look forward to this changing, and will update the website when it does. 

Autism Society Ventura County (ASVC) invites individuals and organizations to submit a proposal/application for an ASVC Community Grant.

If you have an existing or upcoming program or event and find yourself in need of funding, we invite you to submit an application for one of our community grants.

ASVC’s mission is to improve the lives of all affected by Autism.  This is achieved by promoting lifelong access and opportunity for all individuals within the autism spectrum and their families to be fully included members of the community.  We work to accomplish our mission through education, advocacy, the promotion of research, increasing public awareness, and collaboration with individuals and other agencies in our community. It is our commitment to support others in our community with the same mission in serving individuals with ASD and their families.

We look forward to receiving and reviewing your submission.
