About Different Not Less

How It Started, A Community Refusing to Let a Legacy End

The Different-Not Less Foundation was born from a simple wish to keep a beloved community tradition alive. For 18 years, the Autism Walk Northland MN brought families together and raised funds for local support. When the original organizers announced the final walk, Taylor, our President and Founder, felt strongly that this was something our community could not lose. She stepped forward, connected with local autism moms, and together they committed to continuing what had already meant so much to so many families.

Driven by Real Needs

We believe the best support happens when families, schools, and professionals work side by side for real impact.

Stronger Together

Our focus is guided by the voices of the autism and neurodivergent community, not assumptions.

Impact That Stays Local

Every dollar raised goes back into our community to create lasting and meaningful change.

Upcoming Events

Autism Walk Northland - DECC Duluth, MN | April 26th, 2026

Our next event is the 1st Annual Autism Walk Northland MN, happening Sunday, April 26th at the DECC. This walk is more than a fundraiser, it is a chance for families, friends, and supporters to come together, celebrate our autism and neurodivergent community, and show that they are seen, valued, and supported. Participation is free, and everyone is welcome to join, create a team, and help raise funds that will go directly back into our local community. We are especially excited to meet the children, parents, siblings, and caregivers who make this community so special, and to hear firsthand how we can continue filling the gaps and making a meaningful difference.

What We Stand For

Community-Led Support

We listen directly to families and caregivers so donations go exactly where the autism community feels they are needed most.

Inclusion Through Action

We believe inclusion is more than words, it is creating real access to resources, spaces, and opportunities.

Filling the Gaps

We focus on supporting classrooms, families, and organizations when traditional funding falls short.

Compassion With Purpose

Every decision we make is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to uplifting autistic and neurodivergent individuals.

Community First Giving

We believe donations should go where the autism community feels support is missing. We listen directly to parents, educators, and caregivers so that funds are used in the most meaningful and impactful ways possible. Our focus is local, personal, and guided by real needs.
