Grant Request Information
Walk With Autism Ltd. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization designed to benefit local area businesses, schools and charities dedicated to autism awareness, acceptance and research.
Beginning this year, a significant portion of the funds raised through our annual Walk with Autism will be invested directly into special education classrooms throughout the Washington County School District. Through classroom sponsorships, we will help provide teachers and students with sensory equipment, adaptive learning materials, communication tools, classroom resources, and other items that enhance learning and create more inclusive educational environments.
In addition to these classroom sponsorships, Walk with Autism will continue to offer our Educator Acceptance and Advocacy Grants, providing teachers and school staff with funding for innovative projects, specialized resources, and classroom needs that may not otherwise be available.
We also remain committed to supporting Root for Kids, helping strengthen early intervention services for children and families in Southern Utah. By partnering with organizations that share our mission, we can expand access to resources and create lasting opportunities for children to thrive.
Walk With Autism Ltd. will be collecting grant proposals beginning July 27, 2026. Grant proposals will be reviewed and decisions will be made after the grant proposal deadline, August 30, 2026. Recipients will be announced September 5, and monies will be disbursed by September 15, 2026. We anticipate that the majority of requests will be for amounts less than $600.
The grant recipient will not need to report the donation as taxable income. The grant qualifies as a prize or award that is excludable from gross income under Internal Revenue Code section 74(b), if the recipient is selected from the general public. For this purpose, the recipient may keep the prize or award, and need not authorize the foundation to transfer the prize or award to a governmental unit or to another charity.
Your participation, sponsorship, and generosity directly support local students, educators, families, and community organizations. Together, we are building a more inclusive Southern Utah—one step, one classroom, and one family at a time.
Walk with Autism may request an update as to how the monies were used and reserves the right to share those details, limiting all personal information.
