About THE AUTISM SOCIETY OF HAWAII

Since 1992, the Autism Society of Hawaii (ASH) has served children, adults, and families across the Hawaiian Islands by providing education, community programming, advocacy, and information and referral. The organization emphasizes local, island-wide service delivery and keeps funds raised in Hawai‘i to support statewide programs. ASH operates a range of donor-facing activities — signature fundraising events, sensory-friendly community programs, a statewide meet-up calendar, and a recommended resource/helpline — and is governed by a volunteer board with a small professional staff led by an Executive Director. In recent years ASH has expanded island-based events (Oʻahu, Maui, Big Island) and regular sensory-friendly offerings to increase community inclusion and access to supports.

Notable achievements

Expanded sensory-friendly programming

Launched and sustained recurring sensory-friendly film screenings, meet-ups and family-friendly activities across multiple islands, increasing inclusive, low-sensory community opportunities for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families over the past 2–3 years.

Strengthened local fundraising

Secured substantial local donor support and community sponsorship in recent years (notably a major increase in contributions reported for 2023), enabling continued program delivery and islands-wide outreach.
