How to apply for our Hurricane Laura and Delta Relief Mini-Grants.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 28TH
The Autism Society of Greater New Orleans is dedicated to improving the lives of all affected by autism. During this exceptional time, our commitment to our mission has compelled us to offer direct assistance in the form of $100 mini-grants to families and individuals affected by autism who were victims of Hurricane Laura and/or Hurricane Delta. If you are displaced from the storm, contact us so we can be sure that you have a valid mailing address prior to applying as our grant responses are sent out via mail.
