Landon’s Hope Scholarship (Therapies)

Named for our foundation’s inspiration, Landon, Landon’s Hope Scholarship emphasizes our desire to come around the families in our community and offer a way to financially support therapy services for a child with autism when the family is unable to afford it. The Thoms Family have seen firsthand the impact therapy can have on a child. Through fundraising events, corporate sponsorships and individual donors, Landon’s Hope Scholarship is able to fund therapy hours and make a long-term impact on children with autism. Grants open for application every September for six weeks, awardees are notified in December with the grant applying to the following calendar year. 

Applications will open late 2026.
