Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Held for Newly Transitioned Grant a Gift Autism Foundation Ackerman Center
The Grant a Gift Autism Foundation Ackerman Center held a ribbon cutting ceremony today to officially recognize Grant a Gift’s transformational takeover of the Ackerman Autism Center. The now combined organization will provide unprecedented access and resources to local families affected by autism and other neurodevelopmental challenges.
Starting today, June 28, 2021, all aspects of the management of the Ackerman Center will be transferred from UNLV Medicine to Grant a Gift Autism Foundation. Grant a Gift and the Ackerman Center will continue to work with UNLV Medicine under an affiliate agreement allowing the Doctors that currently serve our clients to continue those services at Ackerman.
Grant a Gift staff and board members were joined by City of Las Vegas Councilman Brian Knudsen who presented Grant a Gift with a Certificate of Recognition from the office of Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman thanking Grant a Gift’s dedication to the families and community of Las Vegas.
“By combining the operational and fundraising expertise of Grant a Gift with the clinical excellence of the Ackerman Center, we will be able to bring more resources more quickly to families affected by autism in Southern Nevada,” explains Grant a Gift Autism Foundation President & CEO Peter Krauss. “This could not come at a more critical time as the demand for our services has never been higher. This change allows us to grow faster and be more flexible in meeting the needs of our clients.”
