BC Families for Fair Autism Funding is a grassroots community group started in February 2026 by parents with children with Autism and other disabilities. We came together after the February 10th announcement that MCFD would be moving to a new individualized funding system—and thousands of children with Autism were set to lose some or all individualized therapy funding.
Allison, Michelle, and Sara met after the funding announcement. Allison began the Facebook group, where information, a petition, and other actions and support are provided. Michelle and Sara joined shortly after. Other parents have also contributed to our group (and others) to help move our advocacy forward, and we acknowledge and appreciate all they have done, and continue to do, to fight for inclusion.
Since February, the BC Families for Fair Autism Funding group has met with numerous MLAs and government officials, liaised with stakeholders, held rallies, started a petition, provided info sessions on what’s happening, and created email campaigns sending over 14,000 messages to MLAs around the province.
We believe every child who has a disability deserves the support they need. While we are advocating for inclusion in the new CYSN MCFD Disability Funding Model, we do not want other children to lose out either.
Our motto is “No child left with less, no child left behind.”
