DONATE TODAY

Together, The Nicholas Center and Spectrum Designs Foundation have revolutionized the way that Autistic adults learn, live and work. 


The Nicholas Center welcomes over 120 participants each year to learn critical life skills, improve their social and communication abilities, gain meaningful vocational training, and engage in community projects, including feeding the homeless and beautifying their neighborhoods.


About 50% of these participants, with the help of their Nicholas Center support professionals, also enjoy part-time employment opportunities with Spectrum Designs Foundation’s enterprises - Spectrum Designs (custom apparel and promotional products), Spectrum Bakes (homemade granola and snacks), and Spectrum Suds (laundry and dry cleaning).


Our missions are aligned to create meaningful and inclusive opportunities for people on the Autism Spectrum in the community and at work. Since its inception in 2011, Spectrum’s combined enterprises – with the help of The Nicholas Center – have provided 100,000+ hours of paid work for these individuals with total wages adding up to over $1.5 million.
