Core offering

FOR Children Foundation is a volunteer-run non-profit organization that solicits individual donations and corporate grants to fund programs for Romanian children and young adults. Its core offerings include a scholarship program for children from low-income families, an ASD therapy program run with partner foundation Copiii de Cristal, an Autism Spectrum Disorder awareness campaign, and a planned residential farm for adults with ASD. The organization itself sells no products or services; it channels donor contributions to its partner NGOs in Romania.

Product overview

FOR Children is a charitable foundation offering four interconnected programs: the Scholarship Program providing educational financial support to children from low-income families; the ASD Awareness Campaign raising consciousness about autism spectrum disorder; the Therapy Program delivering ABA therapy and interventions to young people with ASD; and the Residential Farm project developing sustainable housing for adults with autism. These programs work together to support Romanian children through education, awareness, therapy, and independent living initiatives.
