Our Fundraising Activities
For over 50 years, the Miriam Foundation has organized a multitude of successful fundraising events in support of our mission to improve the lives of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. These events not only provide significant revenue for the Foundation but also enhance community awareness about conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID).
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and community partners, our fundraising activities have been supporting:
- Intervention services and programs for adults and children
- Early intervention programs (ESDM)
- Cutting-edge training and education
- Research to improve diagnosis of ASD & ID
- Development of new methods and interventions
- 15 residential community homes
- Adult recreational and leisure programs
- Educational resources and services
