After 18 incredible years of advocacy, education, and community building, Good Friend, Inc. officially ceased operating as a nonprofit organization as of December 31, 2025.
This decision was not made lightly. It followed thoughtful reflection on the evolving needs of our community, our organizational capacity, and the natural lifecycle of a nonprofit that has achieved so much since its founding in 2007.
Throughout the years, we’ve had the profound honor of working with educators, students, families, and advocates to foster a world where autistic individuals are understood, accepted, and respected. From classroom workshops and professional development sessions to original films and community events, every initiative has been guided by our commitment to inclusion and empathy.
While Good Friend, Inc. is no longer operating as a nonprofit organization, we are proud to share that the programs and resources developed over the years continue to live on.
Programs utilizing Good Friend, Inc.’s films and updated and revamped content are now offered through:
School Programs: Friendship Foundations
Employer Programs: The Good Friend Collective
These organizations are carrying the work forward, ensuring continued access to impactful programming and resources for schools, workplaces, and communities.
