The National Autistic Society receives a large part of its fundraising income from Charitable Trusts and Foundations.
Grants can vary in size from fifty pounds to one hundred thousand or more.
They can either be a one-off donation or part of committed support over three years. Sometimes a Trust will fund a project in its entirety, but more often they will donate part of the costs of a project. General services such as the Autism Helpline , the Information Centre and our Development Team have all attracted Trust support. In addition to Charitable Trusts, we also receive grants from the National Lottery Charities Board, the Department of Health and the Welsh Assembly. As the Society expands and pioneers more new initiatives, the support of Charitable Trusts becomes even more crucial to enable us to achieve our aims.
