ASPPIRE’s Scholarships and Supports Fund helps remove financial barriers, providing individuals with access to the resources, opportunities, and encouragement they need to thrive.

The Bob Steinkamp Scholarship Fund provides critical financial support to ASPPIRE participants facing emergency needs and barriers to accessing our life-changing programs. This fund helps individuals with social and cognitive disabilities receive the services, coaching, and community connections they need to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.
Named in honor of our founder, Bob Steinkamp, upon his retirement on October 1, 2021, the fund recognizes his lasting impact as a mentor and advocate for adults with Autism and other cognitive challenges. Bob’s dedication continues to inspire ASPPIRE’s mission to create inclusive, supportive pathways to personal growth.
ASPPIRE is a nonprofit organization (EIN: 27-0525231), primarily funded by private donations. Your generous gift directly supports participant scholarships, emergency assistance, and continued access to high-quality programming. Every dollar is invested in building brighter futures—just as Bob envisioned.
Annually, ASPPIRE serves hundreds of individuals through programs, support services, training, and employment supports.
Money donated will support ASPPIRE participants with emergency needs and provide access to programming. ASPPIRE, a non-profit entity primarily funded privately, has a passion to serve adults with social and cognitive disabilities.
