The GRACE Foundation of New York has been serving the autism community for more than 25 years. Our mission is simple and focused: to support, educate, and enhance the quality of life for children, teens, young adults, and adults on the autism spectrum.

We offer a wide range of programs that build independence, confidence, and community connection — including life-skills development, social and recreational programs, employment readiness training, culinary experiences, creative arts, and ongoing family support. Everything we do is designed to help individuals with autism learn, grow, and take meaningful steps toward greater independence.

With new initiatives like our GRACE on Wheels food truck and our expanding community garden and culinary programs, we continue to create hands-on opportunities that empower our participants and strengthen their connection to the community.

At GRACE, we believe in inclusion, ability, and possibility — and we work every day to make those values a reality for the families we serve.
