Become a Monthly Donor

Each month, your gift sustains and expands free, evidence-based programming that reaches over 1,000 people each year across the metro Atlanta community. From peer mentorship and job readiness workshops to education for families, clinicians, and educators—your support directly fuels access, advocacy and meaningful connection.

By becoming part of our Gregory’s Promise, our monthly giving program, you’re investing in a more inclusive, informed and empowered future for autistic individuals and those who support them.

Join a Community Committed to Lasting Impact

The Atlanta Autism Consortium began in 2008 as a small group of researchers, families, and self-advocates brought together by our founder, Dr. Gregory Abowd. His vision was simple yet powerful: create a space where every voice across the autism spectrum, and those who support them, could share knowledge, build connections and work together for a more inclusive future.

Today, that vision has grown into a free, year-round program series reaching more than 3,000 people each year. Our events are virtual, recorded, and shared widely so anyone—anywhere—can access accurate, evidence-based information without worrying about cost or location. It’s how we ensure that knowledge, opportunity, and community are never out of reach.

Your monthly support through Gregory’s Promise makes this possible. Together, we can continue breaking down barriers, amplifying autistic voices, and building a future where every person across the spectrum is supported and celebrated.

Dr. Gregory Abowd

Gregory’s Promise is more than a giving program: it’s a reflection of Dr. Gregory Abowd’s belief that real progress begins when people come together to share knowledge, compassion and purpose. His vision continues to guide the Atlanta Autism Consortium today, reminding us that inclusion and understanding grow stronger with every connection we make.

— In honor of Dr. Gregory D. Abowd, Founder, Atlanta Autism Consortium
