Ascendigo Autism Services, Inc.

ALL IN for Autism. 

ALL IN for Possibility. ALL IN for Opportunity. ALL IN for Every Individual’s Potential.

Every individual deserves the opportunity to discover what’s possible.

As the prevalence of autism continues to rise, so does the need for meaningful opportunities, individualized support and services that help individuals thrive. Behind every diagnosis is a person with unique strengths, interests, dreams and potential—and a family seeking the support and resources to help them navigate the future.

At Ascendigo, we believe in what’s possible when individuals have the opportunity, encouragement and individualized support to explore their interests, build skills and discover their potential.

We see it in the young person who gains confidence through a new experience, the adult who finds purpose through meaningful employment, and the individual who builds friendships, develops new skills or discovers a place where they truly belong.

These moments can open doors to a lifetime of possibility.

Let's Go ALL IN Together.

A Generous $20,000 Match from the Paxton Family Kicks Off Our 2026 End-of-Year Campaign!

Thanks to the generosity of the Paxton Family, your gift can go even further! Their $20,000 matching gift will help us reach our $40,000 goal for Colorado Gives Day & $200,000 end-of-year goal by December 31—creating more opportunities for individuals with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities to build confidence, discover their potential and thrive.

The Paxton Family’s connection to Ascendigo began with Joey’s first two-week Summer Adventure Camp. That experience showed them just how much he could accomplish with the right support, encouragement and opportunities.

Now, inspired by the impact of Ascendigo and the generosity of this community, the Paxton Family is stepping up to help more individuals experience what’s possible.

Let’s go ALL IN together! Your gift will help unlock this $20,000 match and provide vital support for the programs, individualized services and one-to-one care that make a lasting difference.

Give by December 31 and help us reach our goal!

Your Gift Makes Possibility Possible.

Across our five interconnected programs, our dedicated staff are ALL IN—providing individualized support, creating meaningful opportunities and helping every person discover what’s possible. Making these opportunities possible takes more than a great program. It takes dedicated professionals, individualized attention and, often, one-to-one support tailored to each persons unique needs.

Program fees and other funding sources don’t cover the full cost of this level of care. Philanthropy helps bridge that gap, ensuring individuals can access the support they need to participate, grow and thrive.

When you give to Ascendigo, you’re helping create opportunities for:

CONFIDENCE to try something new.

CONNECTION to build friendships and a sense of belonging.

PURPOSE through meaningful work and contribution.

INDEPENDENCE through new skills and growing abilities.

JOY in discovering interests, experiences and possibilities.

Your generosity helps make these moments—and the possibilities they create—real.
