Bringing the community together to create a better life for autistic individuals

NFAR partners with organizations to achieve a shared goal of improving the lives of autistic individuals and their families so they can thrive!

For the past 20 years, NFAR has supported initiatives each year that create or expand opportunities and bring new solutions to our community. Funding for these programs is made possible by the annual Race for Autism. Community Project Grant Programs span from early treatment programs, friend clubs, social skills classrooms, peer mentor groups, theater and improv. programs, sports camps, family camps, music therapy, martial arts, social skills training, driving instruction, vocational training, parent resources and education, peer mentor programs, and many more.

We’re excited to announce the NFAR Community Project Grantees for 2025!

Each year, funds raised by the Race for Autism help to support autism programs and new initiatives in our community. Together, we have supported over 124 major initiatives, increasing the learning, social, and training options for autistic individuals in San Diego.
