Thank you! The generosity of all our friends, families, and supporters is what makes Anderson the premier autism treatment center in our region. There are many ways you can help.

General Donations

Anderson is offers naming opportunities to honor a family member or other loved one. This is a meaningful way to support Anderson while also recognizing someone in perpetuity. The following is a list of options currently available.

Contact us at (845)889-9594 to discuss your wishes.

Naming Opportunities

We accept all forms of gifts to our general unrestricted fund, from cash, check and credit card payments, to stock gifts and other assets. A cash gift offers the highest federal income tax deduction and can have an even greater impact if your employer offers a matching gifts program.

Restricted Gifts

Memorial and Honorary Gifts

Memorial and honorary gifts provide you with a meaningful way to honor and celebrate the life of a loved one. The family/individual being honored or remembered is sent an acknowledgement that notes your name as making a contribution.

Matching Gifts

Many employers match the charitable donations their employees make. If your company has such a program, request a matching gift form from your employer to maximize your donation.
