The organization completed a name change to better reflect an expanded charitable mission beyond its original focus. While continuing its work supporting individuals with autism and neurodivergence, the organization broadened its programs to include the development and distribution of music, books, training materials, and other creative resources designed to promote mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being for individuals, families, and faith communities. The updated name more accurately represents the organization's growing scope of activities, outreach, and educational efforts, allowing it to serve a wider population while maintaining its commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and public benefit. 0 0 0 Adam Wood Executive Director 25 0 0 0 Carrie Stimson Director, Finance and Counseling 10 0 0 0 Lisa Palinski Director, Curriculum 10 0 0 0 Susan Hanson Director, Medical Counsel 10 0 0 0 Jessi Enyiaku Assistant Director 20 0 0 0 X 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IL Carrie Stimson 2110 E County Rd 9 Milford IL 60953 8153837672 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 300 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 300 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 300 300 X Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 34 Autism and Faith Inc. changed name to Brightstar Ministries, Inc. to better reflect our growing mission and purpose.
