MFA Announces First Grant Recipients
We’re excited to announce the inaugural recipients of the Mesa For All Autism Certification Grant Program!
The Mesa For All Foundation received 10 applications from Mesa-based businesses eager to become Autism Certified. After careful review, the board selected three outstanding recipients. The grant application opened in April 2025 in recognition of World Autism Acceptance Month and closed on June 16.
The selected businesses — The Salted Knot, Fritz’s Barbershop, and Ascendify Wellness — have been notified and are now working with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) to complete the certification process.
We’re thrilled to support the growing number of local businesses committed to creating inclusive, welcoming environments for all and helping make Mesa a national leader in accessibility.
