GREATER PALM SPRINGS TOURISM FOUNDATION

AUTISM REIMBURSEMENT GRANT

In alignment with our mission to enhance the visitor experience, advance accessibility, and create safe spaces for all, we have created the Tourism Foundation Autism Certification Grant.

This grant provides a $2,500 reimbursement for hospitality related businesses that commit to becoming a Certified Autism Center through IBCCES (the International Board of Credentialing and Continued Education Standards). This grant is also available for certification renewals, which are required every two years.

We believe this training will impart knowledge and understanding on your staff so they may better serve individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. This will create confidence within your customers, strengthen the relationships between your colleagues and help build a more compassionate community. In becoming a Certified Autism Center, you join more than 30 organizations across the Greater Palm Springs area that comprise our Certified Autism Destination. Thank you!
