How You Can Help AANE
AANE is supported by your membership and donations. You can support the AANE in a variety of ways:
Direct General Donation
Please use our General Donation Form if you wish to support AANE financially, outside of any special drives like our Annual Appeal. You may also make general donations online.
Volunteer opportunities:
- AANE is recruiting additional members to help with AANE's annual fundraiser for 2007. Bi-weekly meetings during the year with heavier activity around March. A great group!
- Volunteers are also needed to help with solicitation of items and sponsors for the annual auction.
- We are still looking for someone to facilitate a vintage automotive club for adults on the spectrum.
- We also need volunteers to manage our resource database containing useful resources, professionals and services for the whole community. Flexible hours.
Please call Dania at (617) 393-3824 if interested in any of these opportunities.

Catalogue for Philanthropy
AANE has been selected for listing in the 2007 prestigious Massachusetts Catalogue for Philanthropy. This year 390 charities applied for new listings, and 54 were selected, as “examples of excellence” in all fields of Massachusetts philanthropy. According to George McCully, President of the Catalogue, “AANE was chosen because they are a great example of private initiatives for public good, focusing on quality of life in Massachusetts and because they are both excellent and cost-effective. We urge donors to consider AANE to their giving this year.”
