Julien Antoine Special Needs Endowment Fund

The Julien Antoine Special Needs Endowment Fund will award grants to nonprofits or Catholic organizations that provide medical assistance, social opportunities, life skills, and vocational training for children and adults with special needs.

The fund was set up by LaRhonda Julien and named after her son. She shared, “The fund was established in honor of my son who was diagnosed as autistic after many years of doctors and hospital visits searching for answers and quest for appropriate support.” She hopes this fund will help ensure individuals with disabilities are able to access critical services and help families overcome obstacles to receive those services.
