Policy & Partnerships Strong cross-agency collaboration is evident through recent Michigan state partnerships involving departments of labor, education, health and human services, plus the Autism Alliance of Michigan. This indicates an opportunity to engage in joint program funding, policy advocacy initiatives, and state-backed grants or pilots that leverage the alliance’s reach.

Public Health Impact Recent efforts to reduce disparities in diagnosis timing and promote earlier diagnosis suggest a demand for outreach, training, and awareness campaigns. Sales opportunities exist in offering integrated education resources, screening tools, and clinician training modules to hospitals, clinics, and community health programs.

Workplace Readiness Multiple partnerships with industry leaders (Ford, Wayne Health, and other employers) show a clear pathway for employment-oriented programs. Potential sales use cases include workplace skills training, internship pipelines, and supported employment services tailored for employers seeking inclusive hiring solutions.

Resource Network Launch of the Resource Directory and ongoing service partnerships indicate demand for centralized access to autism services. Opportunities exist to provide directory management, partner onboarding, and tech-enabled referral platforms or CRM solutions for streamlined caregiver and professional engagement.

Fundraising & Tech Significant revenue scale with a broad funding base alongside active tech stack usage signals readiness for donor management, grant tracking, and digital fundraising initiatives. Potential offerings include donor CRM optimization, grant lifecycle tools, and integrated event giving platforms to expand annual fundraising and program sponsorship.
