How Your Donation Helps

PACE depends on the generosity of caring contributors in the community in order to provide the highest quality of care for individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. While fees for service cover a portion of our operating costs, our commitment to specialized one-on-one care for each of our students and clients requires ongoing fundraising throughout the year. With the support of individuals, local businesses and corporations, PACE will continue to offer exceptional care for clients in our early intervention program, school, vocational program and residential homes.

PACE is a 501C3 non-profit organization. Gifts to PACE are tax-deductible as specified in the current tax laws. The Tax ID for PACE is #77- 0259858

Donate You Car
PACE is excited to announce our new vehicle donation program. We've teamed up with

Donate For Charity, a company that specializes in processing vehicle donations for Nonprofit Organizations. When you are ready to donate a car or a boat with trailer, you simply call them at 866-392-4483 or click the direct link to their web site on their logo to the left. Donate For Charity arranges for vehicle pickup, handles all of the DMV issues, sells the vehicle at auction, and distributes the net proceeds to PACE! You will avoid the headache of selling a used vehicle, receive a receipt entitling you to deduct the fair market value of your vehicle as a tax deduction, and help PACE achieve its fundraising goals. We hope that you will take advantage of this simple way to help us to fulfill our commitment to our kids!
