Established in 2008, the National Autism Association of North Texas (NAA-NT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and official local chapter of the National Autism Association.
We are a 100% volunteer-driven organization led by a dedicated group of women—mothers raising children with ASD and professionals serving the autism community. Driven by shared passion and personal experience, we work diligently to break down isolation, foster deep community connection, and empower local families.
Our mission is to advocate for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), help parents find vital treatments and resources, educate our community, and provide training, parent scholarships, and learning opportunities for families and professionals alike.
Our Impact Since 2008
$200,000+ awarded in family scholarships and emergency grants
200+ support group sessions formed to guide and encourage parents / sessions for young adults
25+ community events organized to honor teachers, mothers, and families
13 nationally renowned speakers brought in to educate North Texas families and professionals
North Texas Giving Day is our single largest fundraiser of the year. The dollars raised during this campaign directly establish our operating budget for the next 12 months, determining exactly how many local families, scholarships, and community events we can support. Since 2008, NAA-NT has proudly awarded over $200,000 in scholarships and grants to the North Texas autism community.
Your support on North Texas Giving Day directly powers four key pillars:
Life-Changing Scholarships: Families rely on our scholarships for essential care, including therapies, treatments, medical insurance deductibles, communication devices, advocacy support, biomedical interventions, and specialized homeschool resources.
Vital Swim Safety Grants: Drowning is the leading cause of death among children with autism. Because swim lessons are a critical, life-saving necessity, we award dedicated swim scholarships every summer to help cover lesson costs for local families.
Emergency Family Grants: When unexpected crises strike—such as sudden job loss, natural disasters, or family bereavement—we step in with rapid emergency aid. Our grants help cover urgent mortgage, rent, utility, and basic living expenses during life’s hardest moments.
Community Events & Support Groups: We host free, cherished annual events honoring local teachers, mothers, and families, as well as ongoing peer support groups. These gatherings offer connection, recognition, and continuous encouragement to our local community.
Corporate & Business Sponsorships: We are actively seeking local businesses and corporate partners to sponsor our community events. Partnering with NAA-NT provides high-visibility exposure across our growing social media channels and at our highly anticipated annual gatherings.
Why Sponsor? Every corporate dollar covers event overhead, allowing 100% of individual public donations to go directly into our scholarship and grant funds.
If your organization is interested in partnership or sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to us directly at president@naa-nt.org.
We are raising funds to support ASD families with autism education, support groups, scholarships, and community events. We also provide emergency grants for families impacted by autism. We'd love your support!
