Autism on the Seas Foundation

Happy Friday. We sent out an email yesterday to everyone that is registered with us. We received quite a bit that were marked as bounced. After reviewing the reasons why, most were because the mailbox is full, account has been suspended or simple typos .con, .xon... The typos we were able to fix on our end. You should be receiving an email with the details on Sunday.

If you haven't received the email, be sure to check your spam folder or empty out your inbox some.

Why are we asking you to re-register? We are in the process of applying for grants that are City & State specific. We need this information from you to make sure we qualify.

What happens to my first registration date? That remains the same, there will not be any change to your registration date.

This is not another grant application, just helping us to update our end with more information and ensure that those that are registered are aligned with our mission.

• Financial Hardship: This program is strictly reserved for families facing significant financial barriers that make a vacation otherwise impossible.

• Opening New Doors: Our mission for our Dreams Come True grants is to provide a brand-new experience for families who face continuous barriers to getting away. We are heavily prioritizing families who have never experienced a getaway together, ensuring our funds open a door that has otherwise remained closed.

• US & Canada: As a US based charity, our grants are currently being offered only to those that reside in the US and Canada.

Fun Facts Friday: Two Companies, One Mission

What is the difference between Autism on the Seas and the Autism on the Seas Foundation?
While we work hand-in-hand to create accessible vacation experiences, we are actually two separate companies with distinct roles.
Below is the breakdown for today’s

Spread the Love

April is World Autism Month! At the Autism on the Seas Foundation, we are dedicated to creating life-changing experiences for families by providing the support they need to enjoy vacations together—stress-free and supported.

To celebrate this special month, we are asking our community to host a fundraiser on Facebook.

The funds we raise go directly toward our Dreams Come True grants. A fundraiser that raises just $500 can cover a hotel the night before the cruse for a family of four. A fundraiser that hits $1,500 could put a family of two on a cruise. The more we raise, the more lives we change! Let’s work together to make the world a more inclusive place, one family at a time.

Meet the Sanmartin Family. "This opportunity becoming true means the entire world to us. I never thought being able to go on a family cruise would be possible both without staff help and also the financial commitment. I truly cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for being awarded this assistance to help make our dreams come true. My son has never gotten to do anything like this but I know he loves water, sunshine, and being outside. I'm so excited to see his big smile, hear his silly laughs, and make beautiful family memories."

3 Steps to a Successful Fundraiser:

1. Set your goal: Even $100 can make a huge difference for a family's respite care!
2. Make it personal: Share why the Autism on the Seas Foundation matters to you.
3. Be the first: Start your fundraiser with a small personal donation. It shows your heart is in it and gives your friends the green light to join the cause!
