Our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of people with autism, from early childhood through adulthood, as well as their families, caregivers, and communities. Landon's Hope Scholarship emphasizes our desire to come around the families in our community and offer a way to financially support therapy services for a child with autism when the family is unable to afford it. The Thoms Family have seen firsthand the impact therapy can have on a child. Landon?s Hope Scholarship is able to fund therapy hours and make a long-term impact on children with autism. Impact: In 2023, 68 individuals with autism were supported through our grant and received full annual-coverage funding for their therapy services. Emergency Fund Grant: New in 2023, we developed an Emergency Fund Grant to allow autism families to apply for therapy coverage, bill pay forgiveness, assistance with rent/mortgage, special needs purchases (ie specialized car seat), autism diagnosis fees and more. Our fund was depleted from the budgeted amount by June 2023. Impact: In 2023, 17 autism families were impacted through this program, many of whom were able to begin therapy services for their newly diagnosed child due to our grant. Angels 4 Autism Holiday Relief Program is a way for us to come alongside local families and help relieve the stress and financial burden of the holidays by providing gifts for the child AND entire family that lives in the home. Families can apply to be considered or can be nominated/submitted by a friend, school or trusted source. We work in collaboration with the family to ensure they receive what they need. Impact: In 2023, the program successfully provided holiday gifts, food, gas and household necessities for 62 children with autism and a total of 233 family members. Campership Programs: The Foundation believes in the benefits of social and recreational activities designed to provide individuals with autism opportunities to develop social skills, engage in community activities, and build lasting friendships. These include summer camps, social clubs, and group outings. We proudly support non-profit partners like Camp Royall and Camp Blue Skies to financially assist their autistic campers with tuition and fees to attend. Impact: In 2023, we provided 49 camperships to individuals of all ages to attend these specialized camp programs. 883467 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false NC X Stephanie Melish Neuman 9376204185 9935D Rea Road 253 Charlotte NC 28277 X Stephanie Melish Neuman Executive Director 30.00 0.00 88936 0 0 Jon Little Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Neuman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dean Buttrey Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Wilson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LauRen Merola Strager Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dallas Strager Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Thoms President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rebecca Thoms Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 88936 0 false false false 0 153256 153256 3rd Party Event Donation 9000 9000 Major Gifts 10000 10000 19000 0 0 0 0 0 1168628 234401 934227 0 0 Other Income 25000 25000 Sales 30000 30000 55000 1161483 74000 0 561956 561956 0 0 88936 71149 17787 0 142615 142615 0 5673 5000 673 19451 16353 3098 0 35855 330 35525 0 0 0 0 0 9546 9546 12883 755 12128 0 0 4362 4362 11520 2516 9004 0 11388 10863 525 0 0 0 495 495 Promotional Materials 36174 35414 760 Bank Charges & Fees 11520 3519 8001 Internet & Website Fees 9138 636 8502 Special Event Expenses 8712 8712 32369 13608 18761 1002593 883467 119126 0 860950 1010657 0 0 30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 944 890950 1011601 247887 178 247887 178 X 643063 1011423 643063 1011423 890950 1011601 158890 209470 X false false false X 39099 76917 452951 984241 1380127 2933335 15757 15757 0 0 0 39099 76917 452951 984241 1395884 2949092 0 0 2949092 0 0 0 0 39099 76917 452951 984241 1395884 2949092 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Credit Card 178 178 X X X false Build Strong 687025 687025 30873 44922 Hope Strong 389860 389860 2445 131861 1 91743 91743 305 23995 1168628 1168628 33623 200778 234401 934227 false 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Stephanie Neuman (Executive Director) and John Neuman (Board Director) are married and Daniel Thoms (Board President) and Rebecca Thoms) are married.
