Donate to an autism charity specialising in employment support

Every dollar that Australian Spatial Analytics (ASA) generates goes back into creating a ‘big data’ career for a young autistic person facing multiple barriers to entering the workforce. Our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Smith, has been recognised for his achievements in autistic employment globally and is the 2025 QLD Australian of the Year.

We welcome donations from corporations and philanthropic organisations to help accelerate our mission of fostering a new generation of data professionals. Our ultimate aim is to make neurodiversity in the workplace happen everywhere so that we become obsolete and put ourselves out of business!

ASA is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission and has Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

Why donate to ASA?

Proven track record

We’ve created over 230 ‘big data’ careers for young neurodivergent adults since 2020, with many transitioning to other employers.

We’ve changed attitudes

We’ve helped government and industry enable neurodiversity in the workplace with our extensive training program based on lived experience.

Economic impact

ASA’s work means vital infrastructure data (e.g. telecommunications, energy, water) stays in Australia while we create a local tech workforce.

ASA generates a significant economic impact for every dollar we earn. It costs us ~$15,000 to provide professional and personal support to one person each year. But this investment means we save the community up to $500,000 every year across our team.

Your donation helps break the long-term unemployment cycle for young autistic people. In fact, one of our star performers was out of work for six years before he came to us. He now works at a top geospatial consultancy. Find out more at Our Impact and Analyst Stories.

"I didn't have a clear career path until I started working at ASA. I’m very grateful for the opportunity, as it has provided a level of security and stability for myself and my family that I haven’t had before. I’m proof that it’s never too late to start a new career, even if you have some challenges or roadblocks in your way."
