The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation
A National Autism Organization: Granting A Future To Adolescents And Adults®
The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation is a national organization focused on adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The mission of our volunteer-run organization is to develop, advocate
for and award grants to programs that create innovative ways for the diverse population of adults with ASD to participate in and contribute to community life. The role-model programs
developed and funded by The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation can be found throughout the United States and include residential, vocational, educational and recreational opportunities
that are suitable and sustainable. We have also pioneered groundbreaking initiatives that enhance health and wellness, provide support systems and promote understanding of
co-morbid health conditions that impact ASD.
We welcome and appreciate your support of our national efforts to create and support programs that offer opportunities for the best and most productive lives possible for all adults affected by ASD.

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Community Seed Grant Afterschool Life Skills Program at Durand Academy Is A Blueprint for Successful Transition to Adulthood:
An after-school program for adolescents with Asperger Syndrome was developed with this $10,000. Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Community Seed Grant. The pilot program focused on community integration skills, social skills, job development and financial literacy skills and is now poised to become a DJF model program that can be replicated throughout the United States. Peer Mentors enhanced this experiential learning model and created the opportunity for further integration. Watch the video and view success in action!
