Frequently Asked Questions

Tri-Cities Autism Coalition (TCAC) is made up of local nonprofit organizations, professionals, parents, and individuals working together to expand services and supports so that people with autism have every opportunity to fulfill their potential.

A coalition is a group of individuals and organizations that collaborate around a shared purpose. TCAC brings together community partners, professionals, parents, and individuals to strengthen resources and support for people with autism and their families in the Tri-Cities area.

The Arc of Tri-Cities is our fiscal agent. Donations are processed through The Arc so funds can be properly received, managed, and accounted for in support of the Our Autism Journey – We Are Better Together event and related community efforts.

Tri-Cities Autism Coalition (TCAC) is committed to being a good steward of the dollars entrusted for this cause. The priorities of the committee are as follows:

• Ensure the “Our Autism Journey – We Are Better Together” is a quality event
• Ensure outreach, design, and communication generate community participation.
• Ensure all expenses are covered and savings are designated to support following yearly events.
• Any funds that exceed the event’s expenses will be held in a designated account to benefit our local communities’ efforts to serve and support individuals and families impacted by Autism.

Our community is a wonderful place! Many organizations and businesses have stepped to the plate to help make our community more accessible for individuals and families with Autism. We are hoping this event encourages more businesses and professionals to expand their services or products to meet this gap in our community,
