We rely on the generosity of our community to support the many services we provide our families.

Your cash donations are greatly needed and appreciated! For example,

1. $50 will pay for one child to attend Social Skills class and for their family to enjoy four hours of respite.
2. $50 will purchase an educational DVD that we can share with our parents.
3. $100 will allow us to get a gift card to raffle.
4. $200 will help pay experienced childcare workers for our children during special events.
5. $250 will allow us to bring in a professional to work with our parents at one of our monthly meetings.
6. $250 will sponsor a child to attend our annual bike camp.
7. $500 will very nearly cover the cost for our t-shirts for bike camp.

Donations are tax deductible.   The IRS has confirmed the tax deductibility of donations to the Rockdale County Autism Support Group, Inc.  RCASG is a 501(c)3 public charity.
