We know the old way of fundraising: sell, push, repeat. It gets tiring.
At Luv Michael, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we’ve created something different. You’re not selling products or pressuring supporters. Instead, every time someone donates, our team of adults on the autism spectrum prepares handmade thank yous—friendship bracelets and handwritten notes—that spread understanding and acceptance of autism. These thank yous are more than tokens of appreciation; they’re tools for education, awareness, and connection.
What Luv Michael does as a charity:
Luv Michael’s mission is to create a more inclusive world by providing education, advocacy, and meaningful work opportunities for autistic adults. Every donation helps:
• Train and employ adults on the autism spectrum through structured workforce development programs.
• Give purpose and belonging to individuals who are too often excluded from the workplace by inviting them to create and send each handmade thank you.
• Advance housing solutions for the future. Luv Michael has developed an innovative autism housing model, now being shared with families around the world. This model provides families with a way to ensure their adult autistic children have safe, supportive, and fulfilling homes—even after parents are no longer able to provide care.
Why it works for your team:
• Service Hours – Participants earn verified community service hours that count toward their school requirements.
• Graduation Cords – With enough funds raised, students proudly wear their Luv Michael graduation cord at commencement.
• Letters of Recommendation – At higher levels of participation, students earn personalized recommendation letters to strengthen their college or scholarship applications.
• 50% Back to Your Team – Half of every dollar raised goes directly to your team’s goals, making this one of the most impactful fundraisers you can run.
Be the hero.
As an organizer, you’re not just raising money—you’re giving your team a chance to shine while helping Luv Michael build a more inclusive world. You become the bridge between your community and ours, showing donors that supporting your team also means standing up for autistic adults everywhere.
