One More Hour Grant Winner

Written By Nicole Russell

We’re proud to be selected by Hinge, Do Something and Foundation for Social Connection, to be a part of the inaugural cohort of 40 social groups who are redefining how young adults find in-person belonging and connection. Autistic Adults NYC was provided with a $25K grant through Hinge’s social impact program, One More Hour, as we continue to bring people together to find community.
