Giving to the Autism Institute
How is Funding Obtained?The FSU Autism Institute is funded completely through grants, contracts, and private donations. We strive to increase our funds each year through private and corporate donations, annual fundraising, and endowments. Private donations can be made to the FSU Autism Institute through the Florida State University Foundation, a non-profit corporation to enhance the academic vision and priorities of the university.
