Today, the number of children diagnosed with autism is staggering. The fact that 1 in every 110 children born is autistic means that services for the autism community are constantly needed by families. This increased demand during times of economic stress only forces non-profits to come up with new and innovative fundraising models that can allow them to successfully compete with other agencies. QSAC, a 33 year-old, award winning, 501(c) (3) nonprofit stands at the ready to meet these needs.
