Fundraising While You Shop

Need to re-load some of your Holiday Gift Cards?
We can help you out!  ACF launched an exciting fundraising program called 'scrip'!  This refers to gift certificates or gift cards that the Foundation is able to purchase from hundreds of retailers nationwide at a discount, which you can then buy at face value. The difference is Autism Cares Foundation receives the proceeds from each purchase. These are the same gift cards that you would purchase if you went to the retailer directly. By purchasing these gift cards before you shop for your everyday items - like groceries, gas, clothes, and restaurants - we raise money, without you having to spend a penny extra. It's just that simple. 

Think of ACF the next time you buy groceries, gas, clothing and gifts!

Scholarship Program

Then the Autism Cares Foundation Scholarship Program might be the perfect fit for you! 

ACF Scholarships provide funds for high school seniors and current college students who are continuing their education.  ACF develops a partnership with school districts or universities and encourages students and faculty to get involved with our fundraising efforts.  A portion of all the funds raised on behalf of ACF by a particular school district or university are dedicated to scholarships for that school district or university. 

Your school must have an agreement with Autism Cares Foundationto be eligible to receive scholarship funds. Current Participating School Districts: Central Bucks School District, Council Rock School District.

Volunteer Of The Month-  Camryn Albrecht

Camryn Albrecht, a senior at Central Bucks West High School, has been selected as our February Volunteer of the Month.   For the past three years, Camryn has volunteered with Autism Cares Foundation for the shear love for the individuals she has met and worked with.
