Mission Statement

At Bilbo Bash, our mission is to empower and uplift autistic young adults by addressing the critical gap in resources, services, and support that too often emerges after childhood. We are committed to building a future where autistic individuals can thrive, live with dignity, and access the opportunities they deserve.

In the short term, we allocate funds to carefully chosen non-profits and, when possible, partner organizations — including LLCs and community initiatives — that share our dedication to supporting the young adult autistic community. While we recognize the abundance of programs for children, we focus intentionally on young adults, challenging the misconception that autistic individuals “grow out” of their needs after childhood.

Our long-term vision is to become a self-sustaining foundation capable of funding our own initiatives, including the development of innovative, supportive housing. Our goal is to create several self-sustaining villages where autistic young adults, who may not be ready for full independence, can live, grow, and contribute within safe, nurturing communities designed specifically for their needs.

Through every stage of this journey, we are guided by the belief that every autistic individual deserves lifelong support, opportunity, and respect.
