Celebrate 50 Years of Birch Family Services
This year, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Birch Family Services, we reflect on five decades of empowering individuals with autism and developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. Our work has always been rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, work, and fully participate in their communities. This commitment is especially important in April, Autism Acceptance Month—a time to not only raise awareness but to foster a society that embraces and supports individuals with autism. A contribution during this meaningful month ensures that we can continue providing high-quality education, employment services, and community support to those who rely on us. Whether through a one-time gift or participating in special anniversary initiatives, your generosity helps sustain and expand our mission for generations to come.
Be a part of Birch's legacy
Your contribution is more than a gift—it is a powerful investment in the future and a lasting legacy of compassion and inclusion. Thank you for standing with us during this milestone 50th anniversary year. Your generosity honors our history, fuels our mission today, and paves the way for a brighter, more inclusive future for New York’s most vulnerable individuals and their families.
In addition to making an immediate difference, planned giving offers a deeply meaningful way to extend your impact for generations to come. By including us in your estate plans, you ensure that children and adults with autism and developmental disabilities continue to receive the support they need to thrive. Your planned gift becomes a legacy—one that reflects your enduring commitment to equity, opportunity, and belonging.
As we celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, there is no better time to make a lasting difference. No matter the size, your commitment to inclusion and opportunity can help create a world where individuals of all abilities are seen, supported, and celebrated—today, tomorrow, and always.
