The Bowen Foundation for Autism was founded because America’s autism epidemic has reached staggering proportions, and we felt that we could do something to help right here in our own community. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States, now affecting 1 in 68 births. Every one of us knows someone who is affected by this overwhelming disease. There is no cure, but there are many therapies and behavioral interventions designed to remedy symptoms and bring about substantial improvement for children with autism.

Our History
We seek to improve the lives of children with autism in Maryland. Our goal is pretty simple: we award grants to local families who are struggling to pay for needed services to benefit children with autism. Since our founding, we have raised nearly $750,000 for children with autism in the community.

In 2020, The Bowen Foundation partnered with The Arc Central Chesapeake Region to administer the Family Fund. The Family Fund is a grant program that supports young families with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities by affording quality-of-life enrichment opportunities. We know there are therapies, equipment, learning opportunities, camps, and more that make a huge difference for our kids – and insurance covers very little of it.
Annually, The Arc and The Bowen Foundation award grants up to $2,000 to families to support them in accessing these items that make such an impact for their children. Since 2020, The Bowen Foundation has contributed nearly $50,000 to the Family Fund to support children with autism.

Our goal is to help where we can and hopefully provide a little relief and a little hope to families that need it.
