Every Gift Gets Someone in the Room

Every donation, in any amount, helps a neurodivergent professional attend, connect, and get support that most workplaces still don't offer.

Donations of any size are welcome and fully tax deductible.

The Social Connections Summit is supported by Squirrel Space, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your gift counts as a charitable contribution, not just a ticket subsidy.

Proven Value. Persistent Barriers.

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

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

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

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

The talent is already there. What's missing, for most professionals, is the support to get in the door and stay.

Your Donation Supports:

  • Subsidized tickets for neurodivergent professionals who couldn't otherwise attend

  • Free coaching vouchers that extend support beyond the two-day event

  • Neuroaffirming information people didn't know they needed

  • Year-round pathways to employment for neurodivergent professionals
