The XEL FOUNDATION advocates for inclusion of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and for research to end the increasing rates of autism. XEL is an advocate for autism research directed at ending the increasing rates of those affected and providing those already affected with autism an inclusive opportunity for a fulfilling life. We support the research community by providing funding for autism research through our annual grant program. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are tax-deductible.
Lex is our son. I always knew his name would mean something bigger, now it stands for a movement in autism research and inclusion. We decided to name the foundation The XEL FOUNDATION.
It spells Lex backwards, which also represents the word “EXCEL”. The definition of excel is to surpass in accomplishment or achievement.
