$300,000 for Autism Research and Care

As part of our pledge to engage and partner with our communities, Nouryon supports the Philadelphia-based Eagles Autism Foundation, which has been at the forefront of funding innovative research and fostering an environment that promotes inclusion, compassion, and acceptance – values that Nouryon is also committed to.

One in 44 people living in the US is on the autism spectrum*. While it has become one of the fastest-growing developmental disorders in the US, autism has historically been underfunded, misunderstood, and under-researched. The Eagles Autism Foundation prioritizes needs and serves as a voice for the US autism community. Since its inception, the Eagles Autism Challenge has raised more than $12 million, with 100% of participant-raised funds benefiting institutions that conduct autism research and care. The Eagles Autism Challenge has supported 56 research projects and community grants.

Nouryon's donation – the largest matching gift in the foundation’s five-year history - comprised a $50,000 sponsorship and $250,000 participant matching for the fifth annual Eagles Autism Challenge, held on May 21, 2022, in Philadelphia, PA, US. The fundraising event is a one-day bike ride and family-friendly 5K run/walk for the community and is joined by the entire Philadelphia Eagles football franchise. This year, Nouryon employees also participated.
