We expand academic opportunities for neurodiverse students in grades 7-12 and young adults ages 18-22 with autism and other learning differences. Core to the Lionsgate Foundation's mission is helping remove barriers, build belonging and fund projects that change lives, from enhanced learning opportunities to safety and security initiatives to supporting advanced education for special educators that helps them and their students reach their full potential. We also provide grants to local Twin Cities organizations providing services and programming for the autism and broader neurodiverse community.

Founded in 2011, Lionsgate Foundation began as a part of Lionsgate Academy (LGA), a charter school with three locations in the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area. 

Today, we are a separate nonprofit organization that is 100% volunteer driven by a dedicated board of directors, providing funding for innovative projects and emerging needs within LGA and beyond.

Our mission is to support Lionsgate Academy's innovative academic offerings, extra-curricular opportunities, technology needs, best-practice techniques and safe school environment. We also provide funding to help support the broader autism education community. 

Our vision is to expand opportunities, dissolve barriers and increase belonging between students with autism, their families and communities.
