Ben’s Fund provides financial assistance to children and young adults with autism in Washington state to help them access equipment and services they might otherwise be able to obtain.
Families can apply for up to $1,000 per year, per child, to support the needs of their child or young adult.

Please list all household members, then in as many words as you feel comfortable, tell us about your child or your young adult and how the requested equipment or services will support their autism journey.

In exchange for your service, we provide a large, private, gated space with full hook ups, landscaped yard, and storage space. We pay for electric, water, sewer, propane, private broadband internet, and garbage service.
