2025 Annual Fundraising Campaign Now Live!
SUPPORT AUTISTIC ARTISTS IN FILM AND MEDIA!
As a registered Canadian charity (822199238RR0001), Spectrum Productions relies on the generosity of our community to continue advancing our studio and supporting autistic and neurodiverse creators.
The goal of our 2025 Annual Fundraising Campaign is to raise $100,000 and we are already more than half way there!
Join us in supporting autistic artists in film and media!
WHY THIS MATTERS
The film and media industry thrives on innovation, unique perspectives, and creative storytelling - qualities that autistic creators bring in abundance. Yet, too often, barriers like limited access to opportunities, resources, and mentorship stand in the way.
That’s where we come in. Spectrum Productions is dedicated to providing opportunities for discovery and hands-on-training in a supportive environment where autistic youth and young adults can explore their interests, passions, and talents in media production—whether it's behind the camera, in front of it, or working with cutting-edge technologies.
Through our production studio and our programs, we aim to:
Create an inclusive and creative space where these young artists can thrive, collaborate, share their interests, and tell their own stories.
Provide professional-grade equipment to give youth a chance to learn with the tools used in the industry.
Offer workshops and mentorship from filmmakers and professionals who understand the challenges neurodiverse individuals face.
Support career development and networking opportunities in film and media for our participants.
Build a public and widely recognized platform to share film and media from the autism community with the world!
WHAT WE’RE ASKING
We are calling on our community to help us reach our goal of $100,000 by December 31, 2025. Every dollar helps us sustain programs, expand access, and empower more voices to be heard. Donate today and help us build a more inclusive and creative future.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Your contribution — whether through a donation, sharing our campaign, or attending our Annual Gala — directly supports the next generation of autistic artists and storytellers.
