At the Sanford Autism Advocacy Group, LLC, we are honored to connect with a variety of strategic partners, including giving back to non-profit organizations and collaboration with like-minded companies who also support the neurodiverse community in San Diego and beyond.
Teule Kenya, a registered faith-based, Non-Government Organization (NGO) that was established to rescue, support, and integrate orphaned and vulnerable children. Teule envisions seeing every child in a loving stable home.  Teule does this by operating a charitable children’s home, a private school, and working with vulnerable families funded by Teule USA, partners in Kenya, and around the world.
The Autism Tree Project Foundation was founded in 2003 as a 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to improving autism communities around the world and continues to benefit the entire autism family. Autism Tree provides over 200 community-based family events annually under their 19 programs, each created to engage the autism community in a variety of play-centered activities and designed to build social confidence, language and communication skills.
This summer Sanford Autism Advocacy Group is collaborating with Monarch School to collect donations for their Back to School Drive. Monarch School Project nurtures resilience in unhoused youth and their families. They empower students to influence their own growth in the areas of academic success and social emotional learning by reinforcing the existing strength of families so that students can thrive in school and in life. 

​If you would like to make a donation please see our donation drop off schedule below:
The two current drop-off dates would be:
