AUTISME PAU BEARN PYRENEES

What AUTISME PAU BEARN PYRENEES does

Revenue is generated through a hybrid non-profit model combining nominal membership dues (15 euros/year for parents, 5 euros/year for friends and professionals), public donations and fundraising events (Boucles du coeur charity walks, tombola, theatrical performances), and — most materially — institutional grants from French public-sector bodies including ARS Nouvelle Aquitaine, Département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, and the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) via the POCTEFA TEA Pir cross-border project (2024-2026). Free services (caregiver workshops, PCO platform, GEM) are funded entirely through grants and donations. The association has 7 direct employees but operates services through the GCSMS Autisme France multi-association structure, which extends operational scale across Landes and Limousin. Strategic priorities are anchored in the 2024-2026 POCTEFA TEA Pir transborder initiative covering 6 territories (Nouvelle Aquitaine, Occitanie, Andorra, Aragon, Catalonia, Basque Country) with 15+ institutional partners — the only POCTEFA project specifically dedicated to autism across the Pyrenees.
