The Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) Premier Partnerships are sponsorship opportunities that are ideal for organizations interested in supporting and reaching Minnesota’s autism community throughout the year in many ways.

With a prevalence rate of 1 in 34 and a population of more than 5 million people, Minnesota is estimated to have more than 150,000 autistic people. AuSM is uniquely positioned to serve them, their loved ones, and their networks.
