Pave the Way
Sponsorship
Pave the Way is a program that works in conjunction with the California Regional Center's Self Determination Program (SDP) which provides various resources to individuals with developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder. Pave the Way provides working capital to Financial Management Services that support this program; making it possible for them to help more individuals get access to resources they desperately need.

Join the Scenic Route Initiative in Transforming Lives through the Self-Determination Program
At Scenic Route Initiative, we believe in creating a world where individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and developmental disabilities are empowered to lead lives filled with choice, dignity, and independence. Today, we stand at a pivotal moment, embarking on a mission to transform the Self-Determination Program (SDP) landscape in California – and we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.
The SDP offers a beacon of hope, granting individuals and families the freedom to tailor services and supports to their unique needs. Yet, a significant hurdle stands in the way – the scarcity of Financial Management Services (FMS) providers. This gap not only limits access to essential services but also dims the promise of a more inclusive, supportive community.
Here's where the Scenic Route Initiative steps in, and where your support can make a tangible difference. We're launching a fund specifically designed to finance FMS companies, ensuring that more participants can navigate their path in the SDP with the financial resources they need. This fund is more than monetary support; it's a commitment to nurturing independence, choice, and empowerment.
Every contribution to this fund goes directly to paying for participant services. With all expenses reimbursed by Regional Centers, backed by the State of California and the U.S. Government, your donation isn't just a gift – it's an investment in a sustainable cycle of support and empowerment. Plus, your generosity doesn't go unnoticed – your contributions are tax-deductible, allowing you to make an impact while receiving financial benefits.
Imagine a world where every individual in the SDP has the resources to craft their journey, where financial constraints don't dictate the quality of care and support. By contributing to the Scenic Route Initiative, you're not just donating; you're partnering in a movement that champions choice, independence, and empowerment.
Your involvement is crucial. Share this message, contribute to the fund, and spread the word. Together, we can bridge the gap, remove barriers, and illuminate the path for countless individuals and families navigating the Self-Determination Program.
Let's empower, enable, and elevate together. Your support transforms lives – one individual, one family at a time.
Join us on this scenic route to a more inclusive and supportive future.
How Pave the Way works!
1. You make a donation
Your donations are accumulated in a special fund until enough funds are accumulated to sponsor one SDP participant.
3. FMS pays back the loan
As we're merely providing our FMS partner with a short-term working capital, your funds are returned with interest within 12 months.
2. We sponsor a participant
Your funds are lent to a Regional Center Financial Management Service (FMS) partner so that they take on an additional participant.
4. Your money keeps helping
The returned principal and interest is used to sponsor additional participants in the SDP program
