What is Paint for Fund™?
Paint for Fund™ is a creative fundraising program that brings people together through art, community, and purpose. Participants gather for a guided painting experience while supporting programs that benefit individuals with autism and the families who support them.
​
Each Paint for Fund event is designed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where people of all backgrounds and skill levels can relax, have fun, and express their creativity. No painting experience is required. Guests simply show up, enjoy the experience, and leave with a painting they created themselves.
​
More than just an art activity, Paint for Fund™ is a community-building experience that connects people while helping launch and sustain programs developed by Amazing House of Hope Autism Research & Development Center.
​
Every event helps raise awareness and support for initiatives that focus on improving the lives of young adults with autism who experience behavioral challenges.

Why Paint for Fund™ Matters
Families supporting individuals with autism often face significant challenges and limited resources as their loved ones transition into adulthood. Paint for Fund™ was created to help expand programs that provide support, resources, and opportunities for these individuals and their caregivers.
​
By participating in or hosting a Paint for Fund event, community members become part of a movement that helps create pathways toward greater independence, connection, and opportunity.
