Many companies, particularly large ones, strongly encourage employees to contribute directly from their pay checks to charity organizations. United Way often serves as a gateway for these donations and will distribute to any 501(c)(3) approved non-profit organization designated by the employee. Families for Effective Autism Treatment-Houston is one of these organizations and can be specified using the Tax ID number 76-0475759. Please check with your Human Resources department to see if this is an option. If you are choose to contribute to company-sponsored plan, it is great to select a charity you know uses the resources to make a difference in your community for children, teens and adults with autism and those who support them. If you need help in arranging your company’s inclusion of FEAT-Houston as a charitable option, feel free to contact Sean smcjb@yahoo.com or Cindy cindy.cooper@sbcglobal.net.
