Helping the Autism Community find their Talents

Donation protected

The Autistic Community is an amazing population of Artists. Most programs available to this population miss out on a core truth….this group of individuals are fantastic artists! We need your help to support our ground-breaking interactive online platform BUGALU CAFE.

In our over-a-decade of experience, we have seen the outstanding artistic abilities of individuals on the Spectrum. This is why we created BUGALU CAFE (www.bug.cafe) a streaming platform to help people find their special talent and achieve their greatness!  We offer multiple daily classes to create a finished work of art, guidance on how to promote and sell that finished work of art, a marketplace for these artists to immediately sell their products to find their independence, and a closed social network to enable safe interaction with each other.

We need your help though.  We have taken it this far but can’t go any further without your support.  It is time to release this to the people who need it and to create the social network piece to help these artists gain new friendships, collaborate on projects and ultimately discover a newly charged self-confidence and independence, possibly the most important thing of all.

We self-funded the whole year-long development of the project, created the curriculum, assembled the instructors, and completed the marketplace.  We made BUGALU CAFE a membership to help build a sense of community so there would be no barriers to anyone wanting to participate.  We have tested it in beta mode for the last 6 months and are now ready to get it out to the people who can benefit from this service.  Our membership is less than 4 cents/day - Please help in any way you can! 

Be sure to watch the 5 min promo video at the top, that shows you all about Bugalu.

We are so proud of the many testimonials we have received!  The response has been unbelievable!!!  Here are a few:

Thank you for taking the time today to look at Bugalu Cafe.  We really do have something that can positively impact so many people but can’t do it without you!

Please support our project with anything that you can!  If you are able to help, we will continually show you the progress, show you all kinds of new art created by these phenomenal artists (like the art below) and introduce you to these amazing people!
