MCC Foundation for Neurodiversity & Inclusion, Inc.
Empowering Neurodivergent Communities Through Inclusion, Support, and Accessibility
About Our Foundation
The MCC Community Foundation, Inc. is a public-benefit nonprofit dedicated to supporting neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families throughout Ashtabula County, Ohio. Our mission is to expand access to neurodiversity-affirming resources, family education, and community programs that promote inclusion, independence, and overall well-being for individuals across the neurodivergent spectrum. We believe that every neurodivergent person deserves access to quality care, understanding, and opportunities to thrive in their communities.
Through strategic partnerships with local schools, community agencies, healthcare providers, and county organizations, we work to reduce barriers to developmental, behavioral, and therapeutic services. Our primary service area encompasses all of Ashtabula County, with outreach extending into surrounding rural communities that lack adequate access to autism support and neurodiversity-affirming care. We are committed to ensuring that families receive the resources, advocacy, and opportunities they need close to home.
