Official Rules

Sponsor: Autism Advocacy and Accreditation Association, publicly known as and hereby referred to as Family Led Autism Collective (“FLAC” or “Sponsor”), located at 3120 Southwest Fwy Ste 101, PMB 805396, Houston, Texas 77098.

A.Open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry, and who reside in a state or territory where this Sweepstakes is not prohibited or restricted by law.

B.Void in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and wherever else prohibited or restricted by law. No additional U.S. states are excluded; at a $3,000 total prize pool, this Sweepstakes falls below the registration/bonding thresholds in every state that imposes one (see Section 6).

C.Officers, directors, employees, and board members of Autism Advocacy and Accreditation Association, and the immediate household members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) of each such individual, are not eligible to enter or win.

D.Because each Entry Method described in Section 4(A) requires following Sponsor’s Instagram account (@familyledautismcollective), entries earned that way are treated as provisional at the time of submission. Sponsor will verify current follower status, along with all other eligibility requirements, for selected winners and their ranked alternates as described in Section 7. An entrant found not to be a current follower of Sponsor’s Instagram account at the time of verification will be disqualified, and Sponsor will proceed to the next-ranked alternate. This verification requirement does not apply to entries earned solely through the AMOE described in Section 4(B), which does not require an Instagram account.

A.The Sweepstakes begins October 9, 2026 and ends November 22, 2026 (the “Entry Period”). All entries must be received by 11:59 PM ET on November 22, 2026. Sponsor’s database clock is the official timekeeper.

A.During the Entry Period, entrants may earn up to three (3) entries by completing any or all of the following three (3) Entry Methods, each earning one (1) entry: (i) Follow Sponsor’s Instagram account (@familyledautismcollective) AND repost Sponsor’s designated campaign video to your Instagram Story (no hashtag required for this method); (ii) Follow Sponsor’s Instagram account (@familyledautismcollective) AND tag a friend in the comments of Sponsor’s designated campaign post on Instagram; or (iii) Follow Sponsor’s Instagram account (@familyledautismcollective) AND sign up for Sponsor’s email newsletter at /empowering-every-family#how-to-enter. Instagram Story entries require a public account for the duration of the Entry Period. The tagged friend referenced in Method (ii) is not required to take any action and is not thereby entered into the Sweepstakes.

B.Free Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE): entrants who prefer not to use Instagram may instead complete the online entry form at /empowering-every-family#amoe with their name and email address, earning one (1) entry for the entire Entry Period. No purchase, donation, or Instagram account is required to use the AMOE, and it will be featured with equal visibility everywhere the Sweepstakes is promoted.

C.Limit: entrants participating through the Entry Methods described in Section 4(A) may earn a maximum of one (1) entry per method, for a maximum of three (3) entries total for the entire Entry Period. Entrants who instead use the AMOE described in Section 4(B) may earn a maximum of one (1) entry through that method and may not also earn entries under Section 4(A) using the same identity. Repeated completion of the same method, and duplicate entries from the same individual, name, email address, or household, will be void.

D.Entry requires no purchase or donation. Signing up for Sponsor’s newsletter under Method (iii) means you will receive recurring email communications from Sponsor until you unsubscribe; this is separate from general Sweepstakes administration and requires no further action to remain an entrant. Newsletter signup is free and may be unsubscribed from at any time; unsubscribing after entry does not affect entries already earned.

E.All entries earned through the Entry Methods in Section 4(A) or the AMOE in Section 4(B) are combined into a single pool for purposes of the random drawing described in Section 7, weighted by the number of entries (up to three) each entrant has earned.

A.This Sweepstakes is entirely independent of FLAC’s family grant program. Entry, winning, or non-winning has no effect — positive or negative — on any family’s eligibility for, amount of, or access to a grant, and grant applicants and recipients are neither required nor expected to enter.

B.Sharing this campaign is not a referral of any family to therapy services or the grant program, and is not compensated or incentivized as such. Sponsor does not condition entry on selecting, recommending, or using any particular therapy provider; any provider delivering qualifying, compliant care is treated equally under the grant program described separately in Sponsor’s program materials.

A.Three (3) winners will each receive $1,000 (USD), awarded by check or electronic transfer, for a total prize pool of $3,000. Prizes are not transferable or redeemable for cash, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Winners are responsible for any expenses not specifically included.

B.Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period.

A.Winners will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries, conducted and witnessed by Sponsor on November 24, 2026. Selected winners will be announced the same day, subject to the eligibility verification described in Section 2(D) and this Section 7.

B.At the same drawing, Sponsor will also randomly select two (2) ranked alternate entries for each prize. Potential winners will be notified by email or phone within five (5) business days of the drawing and must respond within ten (10) business days of notification. If a selected winner fails to respond within that window, declines the prize, or fails to meet eligibility requirements, Sponsor will disqualify that entry and proceed to the next-ranked alternate for that prize, under the same notification and response terms, until a prize is claimed or all alternates for that prize are exhausted. Any prize for which all alternates are exhausted without a valid claim will not be awarded or distributed.

C.Before receiving a prize, each winner must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and (where lawful) a Publicity Release, and complete a Form W-9.

A.Each winner is solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on their prize. Sponsor will issue a Form 1099-MISC (Box 3, Other Income) to any winner as required by law.

A.Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes each winner’s consent to Sponsor’s use of the winner’s name, city and state of residence, and statements about the Sweepstakes for promotional purposes, in any media, without additional compensation.

B.By entering, participants release Sponsor, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any liability for claims, damages, or injury arising from participation in the Sweepstakes or the use of any prize.

A.By entering, participants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and Sponsor’s Privacy Notice, and agree that Sponsor’s decisions regarding all matters relating to the Sweepstakes are final.

B.Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are lost, late, incomplete, misdirected, or not received for any reason, including technical failures of any kind affecting Instagram, Facebook, Sponsor’s website, or any AMOE submission.

C.All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.

D.By entering, participants grant Sponsor a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and display the content of their qualifying entry (including the public Story, post, or tag submitted as part of entry) in connection with Sponsor’s administration and promotion of this Sweepstakes. This license continues indefinitely unless the participant revokes it in writing; revocation will not affect any use that occurred before Sponsor’s receipt of the revocation request.

E.Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or modify the Sweepstakes if fraud, technical failure, or any factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs its integrity, and to disqualify any individual found tampering with entries.

F.This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram, Facebook, or Meta Platforms, Inc.

G.Personal information collected through entry is subject to Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, available at /privacy.

H.This Sweepstakes is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

I.For a list of winners, available after January 15, 2027, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Sponsor’s address above.
