The Somali Parents Autism Network (SPAN), like many nonprofits across the United States and in Minnesota, is currently navigating significant financial challenges due to budget cuts and austerity measures. While program and grant funding naturally fluctuate, they require stable, predictable funding to cover essential operational costs such as rent, utilities, and technology. Their immediate goal is to raise $25,000 by the end of the year to ensure they can meet these critical operational expenses for the 2026 budget.

This organization provides crucial support for our community, so we are amplifying their message during this time of uncertainty. Help us get the word out by liking, sharing or commenting on this post. Please donate if you are able. Any amount helps: https://www.somaliautism.org/donation/
