Mission

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation was inspired by the life of Danny Fiddle and the realization that there is a vast deficiency of residential, recreational, vocational, educational and family oriented programs that benefit adolescents and adults with Autism.

The goal of The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation is to honor the individuality of each person with Autism throughout his or her life by creating opportunities for adolescents and adults to participate in the community that are suitable, stimulating and sustainable.

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation was established to provide grants to programs that enrich the lives of adolescents and adults with Autism. Autism is a neurological, life span disorder that is manifested by a wide spectrum of attributes that may affect an individual’s social, behavioral or cognitive functioning. Through The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation’s grant giving endeavors, it is our goal to honor the individuality of every person with Autism so that each may participate throughout their lifetime in vocational, recreational, educational and residential opportunities that are suitable, stimulating and sustainable and allow for maximum integration in the community. Understanding that the life span issues associated with Autism present unique challenges to the families and caregivers , The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation also provides grants to programs that address these challenges as they relate to adolescents and adults with Autism. An integral part of The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation’s mission is to provide community outreach and education regarding the life span issues associated with Autism and this is accomplished through the Foundation’s involvement in community-based events.
