Programs
Education & training - We provided education and training to 2233 people in 2024. This included in-person conferences and workshops, online training, safety fairs, and training for First Responders. This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals with Autism and those who support them are well-equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate their daily lives effectively.
$589,958 spent61% of program spendingSupport & Family Services - Formal support groups served 476 individuals. The Autism Society Inland Empire realizes that support groups can be an essential resource for adults with Autism and family members.

$287,296 spent29% of program spendingAdvocacy - The Autism Society Inland Empire engages with our communities, raises awareness, and encourages others to contact their local, state, or federal policymakers to advocate. This empowers people to advocate directly for their communities' needs and priorities. Additionally, we sit on several local and state task forces to ensure that the voices of individuals with Autism and their families are heard in policy discussions and decision-making processes. This involvement helps shape policies and programs that are inclusive and responsive to the needs of the Autism community. In 2024, the Autism Society Inland Empire worked on various legislative issues.
$96,811 spent10% of program spendingCommunity Outreach -
Safety initiative - Since 2020, the Autism Society Inland Empire has developed comprehensive training programs for law enforcement, fire, and emergency personnel, offering four- and twohour courses. These trainings, delivered by experienced law enforcement officers, include valuable Q&A sessions with a panel of adults with developmental disabilities.
Employment - With an 89% unemployment rate for the 19,000 Inland Regional Center clients, the Autism Society Inland Empire is committed to improving employment outcomes for individuals with Autism and other developmental disabilities. We offer paid and unpaid opportunities for adults with Autism and developmental disabilities to explore different types of employment.
Decrease Disparity - In 2024, the Inland Regional Center awarded $150,000 to the Autism Society Inland Empire to strengthen relationships with First Nation communities in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. This initiative focuses on outreach, case management, and trauma-sensitive early intervention services, addressing each tribe's unique needs and traditions.
Systems Navigation Services: The Autism Society Inland Empire served 5,854 individuals with the Systems Navigation program, which helps families and individuals with Autism navigate the many services and resources that become part of our lives: special education services, Regional Center support, healthcare, In-Home Supportive Services, social security, and community resources, to name a few. Our Resource Specialists provide individual support to help families prioritize and learn how to navigate these systems, ensuring that individuals with Autism and their families receive the support needed to thrive.
Recreation Programs: Served 11,783 individuals. Autistic people are up to four times more likely to experience loneliness than non-autistic people. Research shows that loneliness is linked to adverse mental and physical health outcomes, including increased anxiety, depression, and even higher mortality rates. Our recreational programs provide meaningful connection opportunities that combat isolation and enhance well-being. Our events create a supportive environment where children and adults with Autism and their family members can forge friendships, find emotional outlets, and experience belonging.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $167k to $395k (+136%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 3% · 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of Autism Society Inland Empire Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $13k → $195k.
6 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Autism Society Inland Empire Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 36% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
84% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Autism Society Inland Empire Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2019 96% · 2020 78% · 2021 49% · 2022 48% · 2023 69% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
22% of Autism Society Inland Empire Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
76% of Autism Society Inland Empire Inc's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $437k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
