Put your organization's name behind the mission, with recognition.

  • One neurodivergent employee at SAP helped build a fix worth an estimated 40 million dollars

WHY THIS MATTERS

Proven Value. Persistent Barriers.

  • Microsoft, SAP, EY, and JPMorgan Chase all run dedicated neurodivergent hiring programs.

  • Neurodivergent adults face unemployment or underemployment as high as 85 to 90 percent, per a national study from Drexel University's Autism Institute.

  • Companies with these programs report lower defect rates, higher output, and real savings.

Every gift to the summit helps with:

  • Providing a full summit experience for professionals who can't cover the ticket price on their own

  • Accessibility support so every attendee can fully take part

  • Connections to affirming coaching and support through Squirrel Space

  • Keeping this work going for neurodivergent professionals year-round

The Social Connections Summit is supported by Squirrel Space, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Your gift counts as a charitable contribution.

Donations of any size are welcome and fully tax deductible.

Sponsored Access Request

A few things to know before you apply:

  • Both September 23 and 24 must stay open on your calendar. Selected applicants attend live, both days.

  • Tickets go out first come, first served, not by lottery.

  • The team reaches out once funding for your ticket is confirmed.

  • Selected applicants hear back at the latest three days before the summit.

  • A completed form doesn't guarantee a ticket. Funding available at the time decides it.

  • Anyone who knows someone else who could use this can share the request form with them too.

Neurodivergent professionals use this form to request access to Social Connections Summit 2026.

Funding for these tickets comes from sponsors and individual donors, so the team matches what comes in with the people who apply.
