ADM + Giving Tuesday: Double the impact

Get a head start with a gift that goes twice as far, thanks to the Garland family.

Time is running out to

MATCH your donation!

The Garland family has felt the devastating impact of diabetes firsthand. That's why they're generously matching every gift this month, up to $100,000, to help end this disease once and for all!

Double My Donation

Next week is Giving Tuesday.

Don't miss the chance to double your gift!

Friend,

As we approach the season of giving, we are reminded of the power of community and generosity. Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving back, is an opportunity for you to make a significant impact on the lives of millions living with, at risk of, or caring for someone with diabetes. But you don't have to wait until next Tuesday to make a difference.

Thanks to the Garland family, you can give today and your donation will be matched dollar for dollar—up to a campaign total of $100,000!

Trish Garland lives with diabetes herself, her brother has it, and her grandfather passed away from its complications. She understands the impact of each and every donation and is grateful to the ADA for "the many ways they're working to improve the lives of people with the disease."

Match My Donation

Your tax-deductible support is crucial as the American Diabetes Association^® continues to be at the forefront of the fight to end diabetes through research, education, and advocacy. With your help, we can:

Fund innovative research to discover new treatments and ultimately a cure for diabetes.
Provide essential education, resources, and support to those living with diabetes, helping them to lead healthier, more manageable lives.
Advocate for policy changes that ensure access to necessary medical care and support for all people affected by diabetes.

Don't miss out on this generous match offer. When you give today, your donation will be doubled, increasing your impact and helping us move closer to a world without diabetes. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our cause.

Double My Impact

Remember, your gift is tax-deductible—which helps fuel our fight to end diabetes and can reduce your taxable income next tax season. Give now, on Giving Tuesday, or by the end of the year to make your charitable donation count.

Employment wins in the Autism community

Dear Hcis,

My wife Deya and I are proud parents of adult children on the Autism spectrum.

Our kids have overcome incredible challenges on their paths to adulthood, but one thing remains a constant battle for them and millions of adults on the spectrum —Meaningful employment that translates into personally rewarding and fulfilling career opportunities.

The Autism Society’s Employment Initiative helps individuals plan for employment, promotes a fulfillment mindset, and creates inclusive environments — providing resources for job seekers, families, and employers, and partnering with organizations to open new doors, like the global corporation, Kimberly-Clark.

“When my son was diagnosed with Autism 23 years ago, I connected with the Autism Society in order to learn. I quickly became active with our local affiliate board, as I wanted to share learning and support for other families. I wanted Kimberly-Clark to continue becoming a more inclusive workplace and allowing me to share the “adult life” learning with family and friends around me. I am proud of the journey K-C has walked, and excited for the opportunities still ahead,” shared Michelle, a Kimberly Clark employee, and participant in our employer course, Becoming an Autism-Informed Organization.

The Autism Society has launched a series of on-line Employment Courses which helps bridge the gap between the lived experiences of Autistic individuals and a workplace's culture, policies, and expectations.

"The course had exactly what we were looking for - practical ways to support Autistics and Neurodivergents through hiring and performance management processes at our organization. The content on accommodations and universal supports was also helpful. If you want to make your organization more inclusive, and truly support all minds, this course is a great place to start! We've already started implementing the small but significant changes to our processes!" - Course participant

As our Gifts of Acceptance campaign continues, we invite you to make your gift to support this life-changing initiative and all our work.

Give Today

Thank you,

Jose Velasco

Senior Vice President of Strategic Operations

Autism Society of America

P.S. Meaningful employment matters in our lives. As we gather over the next few days and consider all that we are thankful for, please take a minute to learn more, make your gift, and share this important work to help advance our progress.
