The mission of the Adonis Family Farm, Inc..dba Adonis Autism Center of Southwest Florida is to enhance the quality of life for people with autism in Southwest Florida by providing programs that encourage progressive lifestyles, participation in the life of the community and decision-making skills through training and education.

We are a 501-c3 non profit organization. Adonis no longer operates a group home. Our direction has now turned to offering the annual "Richard Bashaw Grant", a grant for our ever growing older population.

About the Grant
The Richard Bashaw Grant offers a grant for any type of program that is of special interest to the autistic applicant. We will take applications throughout the regular calendar year (Jan.-Dec.), issuing up to but not to exceed $5,000 per year for all applicants combined.  Grants will awarded within ten (10) days of Adonis receiving the completed application. To be eligible, the applicant must be age 16 or older who has autism, lives in Lee, Charlotte, Collier, Henry or Glades counties in Florida, and who is applying for a program not currently covered under any government assistance programs. Previous recipients of grant money must wait one full year before re-applying again. For more details, see our application.
