Over the past 8 years we have been working towards our vision of an Ireland where every Autistic person is accepted “As They Are” – equal, valued and respected. Our purpose is to advocate for an inclusive society for Autistic people that is accessible, accepting and affirming. We work to support the Autistic community and our families to fully engage in Irish life and to build the capacity of society to facilitate true inclusion.
We need your help now more than ever, you can make a difference! Support Autistic people to have the Same Chance.
We must raise approximately €2,000,000 per year just to maintain our current activity but we need to do so much more. We have an ambitious goal to support 25,000 people between 2022 and 2025 but we can only do this with public support. Fundraising for AsIAm sends a powerful message of acceptance to autistic people in your life or community whilst raising much needed funds to improve the lives of thousands across the country.
Fundraise YOUR way for AsIAm

They can cover people, places, objects, nature, sport etc etc wherever your creativity brings you.
The objective is to create a funding mechanism through the registration fee which will support the work of AsIAm, to give people the opportunity to explore their creativity, be part of an online exhibition and to possibly be part of the AsIAm Calendar for 2024.
