The Greater Harrisburg Chapter
ASA is interested in funding projects that:
 |
Directly benefit
individuals with autism residing in Central
Pennsylvania; |
 |
Are collaborative
efforts between agencies, professionals, and
individuals; |
 |
Have the potential to
continue beyond the grant period;
|
 |
And, are innovative in
nature. |
|
Guidelines:
 |
The agency,
professional, and or individuals requesting
money must utilize the funding within our
geographic region (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin,
Perry, Juniata, Lebanon, Lancaster, Mifflin,
Northumberland, Snyder, Union, and York
Counties). |
 |
Grants may range
from $500 to $1500. |
 |
All
applicants must have tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status
as a non-profit organization as defined by the
Internal Revenue Service. Individuals who have
an interest should team with a tax-exempt
organization. |
 |
All
applicants must submit a completed application
with proposed budget attached. The deadline for
applications is April 1st (each year). Our board
of directors will provide notice of
approval/denial by June 15th.
You may submit applications at any time of the
year for consideration. |
 |
The
results of your project/program must be
presented at a Greater Harrisburg ASA Chapter
meeting within one year of approval.
|
 |
Your grant application will be scored in the
following areas: |
|
| |
- Need
- Impact
- Purpose/Goals
- Collaboration
- Sustainability
- Budget
- Innovation
- Overall Quality
and Completeness
|
*Typically,
the Greater Harrisburg ASA will
not approve grants
that:
 |
Are
made by any individual or group without
tax-exempt status. |
 |
Request funding for a project that has already
been completed. |
 |
Do
not benefit a broad range of individuals with
autism residing in our region.
|
 |
Seek payment for a job or educational
requirement. |
|
*These are
general guidelines. If there are extenuating circumstances, the
board has
the authority to distribute funds by majority vote.
