Our Move-for-MAC Ask
This fall we are kicking off our strategic plan, Vision 2030, and we need your support to get us started! Move-for-MAC will support the first phase of Vision 2030 - designing our campus expansion.
We have hired an experienced architectural firm to build an additional 10,000 square foot building and partnered with Magical Bridge to create the unique outdoor spaces our students, clients, and broader community need.
These campus upgrades are necessary in order to increase the capacity of our school program and adult program, create a stronger bridge between the school and adult program, as well as ensure the future financial security of our program.
By reaching our Move-for-MAC goal of $50,000 we can start developing the campus of our dreams with intentional indoor and outdoor spaces specifically built to not only serve our students and clients but also our entire community.
How can you help us reach our $50,000 goal?
You can become a sponsor, make a gift in any amount, and/or create your own fundraising page to inspire your friends and family to support Move-for-MAC!

Our Future: Building Our Dream Campus 2.0 – Vision 2030
The Need for Campus Upgrade
In the seven years since we have moved into our current campus, the population of individuals with significant Autism has doubled while we have remained the same size. With the recent completion of our new strategic plan–Vision 2030, we plan to significantly increase the size of our school and adult program, build a better bridge between our school and adult program, as well as deepen our community-based programming. Through these combined efforts we will also ensure the financial security of our organization.
In order to enable these outcomes, we need to build four additional classrooms, a new space for our adult program, and the intentional indoor and outdoor spaces needed for those we serve.

Magical Bridge Partnership
We are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Magical Bridge Foundation. Magical Bridge creates multigenerational playgrounds, parks, and programs for more inclusive communities. With a decade of experience, they have been creating premier outdoor spaces for community playgrounds, schools, and museums around the world. Through this partnership of two premier service providers for individuals with Autism, we believe we can create a world-wide destination site for others to learn from.
The Dream Campus 2.0 will not only benefit those we directly serve in our school and adult programs but also create the potential to open our campus to the broader community on evenings and weekends, host camps, as well as partner with research institutions and other providers who serve our priority population.
Thank you to our Sponsors!
