The 168 Initiative:

100% of your donation goes directly into The 168 Initiative scholarship pool. When a family in financial crisis reaches out for help with an IEP, a daycare expulsion, or chronic restraint collapse, we use these funds to cover the cost of their 1-on-1 Strategy Audit. It allows Grit, Grace & Good Data to provide our premium, labor-intensive consulting services to vulnerable families completely free of charge.

The families who need an advocacy translator the most are often the ones who can least afford it. The financial toxicity of raising a neurodivergent child— paying out of pocket for therapy services, specialized gear, or lost wages from work— leaves many caregivers with nothing left over for private consulting. We built this fund so that a parent’s bank account never distates their child’s access to civil rights and biological safety.

Every fully funded audit creates a ripple effect. When we equip one low-income parent with the exact clinical data and legal templates to secure accommodations, they take that blueprint back to their local school district. By funding the fight for one family you are actively forcing under-resourced public systems to change their baseline of care for every neurodivergent child in that building.
