The Starship Foundation
Was Launched With
A Single Mission

Support the Autism community

when others can't

​

We Need Your Help

We foster success in career goals and create a path to self sufficiency.

You probably know someone on the autism spectrum; maybe a family member, a friend, a neighbor.
The potential of their talents is incredible, but some need our support. 
Many age out of government programs at 18 or never meet their criteria at all, ending up without direction or anyone to guide them. With your help we can create change.
