Princeton, NJ – August 6, 2026 – Adstra Nonprofit, the leader in connecting organizations with sustaining audiences, has announced a new partnership with Autism Speaks, providing donor acquisition and data management services to support the organization’s fundraising and engagement efforts. Autism Speaks is the largest autism research nonprofit in the United States, dedicated to expanding awareness and helping autistic individuals thrive.
“We are deeply honored to be partnering with an organization as critical and impactful as Autism Speaks,” said Tom Fleming, Senior VP of Donor Acquisition at Adstra Nonprofit. “With our donor acquisition capabilities, we are looking forward to helping the organization strengthen its existing relationships and connect with the next generation of supporters.”
Today, autism affects 1 in 31 children and 1 in 36 adults in the United States. Although autism affects each person differently, it is characterized by challenges in communication, social, and behavioral skills. These challenges are often misunderstood throughout childhood and into adulthood, and autistic individuals may struggle to navigate social and professional settings.
Autism Speaks funds research and awareness campaigns that empower people with autism to thrive. Its work includes increasing access to trusted information and services, supporting research and innovation, and advancing a spectrum of solutions for employment, housing, health, and wellness. As a large nonprofit, Autism Speaks relies on donations from supporters to continue offering its wide array of services. By partnering with Adstra Nonprofit, the organization sets the foundation for continued and expanded donor engagement.
“Adstra has a longstanding record of partnering with nonprofits to further expand and engage even large supporter bases,” said Kelli Seeley, CMO at Autism Speaks. “We needed a partner with exactly that kind of strategic depth and commitment, and we are fortunate to have Adstra at our side as we continue fighting to redefine possible for all individuals with autism.”
