What Autism Society of Greater Akron does
Mission
We create connections, empowering everyone in the autism community with the resources needed to live fully.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Asga has 5 core service areas with its programs and services. In 2024, we served over 33,000 individuals with autism, their families, and professionals who live in our service area of medina, portage, stark, summit and wayne counties. In a year that we experienced unprecedented growth, we're proud that we empowered our community more than ever with resources, support, education and connections. Helpline inquiries nearly doubled this year, providing information and referrals to local services for more individuals, parents/guardians, and professionals. Our online parent support group continued to grow, connecting to each for resources and sharing information.
$272,797 spent$44,110 earned by the program78% of program spendingAsga's social clubs for all ages expanded in 2024. These clubs are free for attendees and are supported by grants and donations. Members reported less isolation and a greater sense of friendship and social opportunities from meetings, which professionals facilitate. First responders in our community will be trained in understanding autism thanks to receiving our first federal grant from the department of justice. Adapted family inclusive events grew by 32%, connecting more families in a safe and supportive environment. A milestone of providing almost 4,000 water safety lessons was achieved as part of our water safety program, and once again we held a bike camp, teaching individuals of all abilities how to ride a bicycle.
$74,456 spent21% of program spendingAs a member of the autism society of ohio, a collaboration of the six ohio affiliates of the autism society of america, asga worked with the ohio state legislature to pass a bill to expand the silver alert. Now named the "missing adult alert," this program now includes people with autism or other mental impairments. The alert system is designed to coordinate the information to the media and public in a timely manner to help find people who are in danger and is run by the ohio attorney general's office. Asga continues to raise awareness and acceptance of autism by joining the autism society of america and its fellow affiliates across the country, in april, autism acceptance month, to advocate for improved services and programs to support individuals with autism.

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 2018 to 2019, from $87k to $357k (+308%).
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 22% · 2021 22% · 2022 8% · 2023 24% · 2024 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
112% of AUTISM SOCIETY OF GREATER AKRON’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).

5 of 35 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AUTISM SOCIETY OF GREATER AKRON’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 35 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
AUTISM SOCIETY OF GREATER AKRON has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% 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
40% 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 OF GREATER AKRON.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 75% · 2019 61% · 2020 18% · 2021 48% · 2022 28% · 2023 13% — 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
47% of AUTISM SOCIETY OF GREATER AKRON's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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
95% of AUTISM SOCIETY OF GREATER AKRON's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $160k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
