ENDUE is a foundation on the San Francisco Peninsula which is dedicated to investing in and providing support for children and adults with developmental disabilities like autism. ENDUE’s primary goals are to promote awareness, education and provide support to individuals and families affected by autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Through the ENDUE Foundation, the Board of Directors grants funding to individuals and non-profit organizations supporting programs for children and adults alike. We financially support groups that provide affordable housing, independence training for adults, recreation for children and teens, childcare, and support groups for families. We buy playground equipment and computers, new clothes for job seekers, send children to camp and much, much more.
