About Us

The Bursary of Hope for Autism is a registered non-profit organization based in Ontario (Charity Registration No. 846028769RR0001) and run entirely by dedicated volunteers. Our mission is to raise funds to support families who are struggling to access Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy for their children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

​

We are proud to partner with Behaviour Innovations, a private provider of ABA services supporting children in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Toronto and surrounding communities.

​

ABA therapy has been shown to significantly improve outcomes for children with autism, but the cost can range from $30,000 to $60,000 per year — a financial burden that many families simply cannot bear. While some government-funded programs are available, they often come with long waitlists and do not fully cover the cost of care.

Through generous community support and fundraising initiatives, the Bursary of Hope helps bridge that gap. Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to the care they deserve, regardless of financial barriers or government delays.
