NBA is participating in GiveBIG this year! NBA is a nonprofit organization, and we RELY on fundraising to sustain our services. The funding we receive from learners’ insurance plans does not fully cover the true cost of the care and support we provide.

Historically, our largest fundraiser has been our biennial auction, Art for Autism. However, the NBA Board of Directors and Leadership Team have decided not to host the event in 2026 as we explore new funding opportunities. This means GiveBIG is a do or die.

Early giving begins TODAY. NBA's goal is to raise $31,000 and some NBA staff have created their own giving teams with individual raise goals. Please ask your NBA contact if they have a team link!

Every donation directly supports the learners we serve. Even small gifts make an impact: for example, a $25 donation covers a learner’s data collection platform for one month, and a recurring gift can sustain that support all year long.
Please consider making any level of donation to NBA's GiveBIG campaign.

Serving Our Community for Over 25 Years!We know the Washington philanthropic community has many compelling causes to support and you may be asking yourself, “Why support NBA?” Your support helps our staff positively impact the life of individuals with autism one day,...

NBA was excited to welcome Katie Forsythe, WSU Assistant Professor in Human Development, last Thursday. She was the guest of our amazing WSU HD intern Ahtziri Arevalo-Pio. Ahtziri shared her NBA experience with Katie and made us all SO proud as she explained how we develop and implement individualized programs for our learners, collect data, and work with families and the community!
